Spider - Sculpture (Rimini - Italy)
Description
A few weeks while I was walking along the Torre Pedrera (Italy) seafront I came across this particular sculpture. This work was created entirely with recycled and reused material.
While I was observing the work I had the opportunity to speak with the manager of the art exhibition.
I asked him what the artist wanted to represent.
The manager of the art exhibition explained to me that according to the artist the spider, with its complex and intricate system of webs, can represent a metaphor for understanding the phenomenon of consumerism. From this explanation we also understand the artist's choice to create this work with recycled material.
For the artist, the spider uses its web to represent a system of control over its prey, so consumerism also exercises control over society and people in the same way.
I was so fascinated by this work that I forgot to ask who the artist was. In the end I never saw the manager of the exhibition again and I didn't know who composed this work of art, a work that kept me stuck in front of it for a few minutes.
Request

Ragno - Scultura (Rimini - Italia)
Descrizione
Qualche settimana mentre passeggiavo per il lungomare di Torre Pedrera mi sono imbattuto in questa scultura particolare. Questa opera è stata realizzata tutta con materiale da riciclo e materiale da riuso.
Mentre osservavo l’opera ho avuto l’opportunità di parlare con il gestore della mostra d’arte.
Gli ho chiesto cosa aveva voluto rappresentare l’artista.
Il gestore della mostra d’arte mi ha spiegato che secondo l’artista il ragno, con il suo complesso ed intricato sistema di ragnatele, può rappresentare una metafora per comprendere il fenomeno del consumismo. Da questa spiegazione si comprende anche la scelta dell’artista di creare quest’opera con materiale da riciclo.
Per l’artista il ragno sfrutta la sua rete per rappresentare un sistema di controllo sulle sue prede, così anche il consumismo allo stesso modo esercita un controllo sulla società e sulle persone.
Sono talmente rimasto affascinato da quest’opera che poi ho dimenticato di chiedere chi fosse l’artista. Alla fine il gestore della mostra non l’ho più visto e non ho saputo chi è stato a comporre questa opera d’arte, opera che mi ha tenuto bloccato per alcuni minuti davanti ad essa.
Domanda
Che ne pensate di questa opera d’arte? Che ne pensate del significato di questa scultura?

THE END
For the best experience view this post on Liketu
Very weird kind of spider! It looks like a scorpion too! This could be a drone and go everywhere!
I hadn't thought about the drone thing, but it actually seems like it could be a robot and possibly perform some activity, not of an evil nature
That was really an exciting sculpture
I also found this sculpture very beautiful. Initially it immediately attracted my attention, but I didn't understand the message the artist wanted to give. When I focused carefully on the reason why this work was made and why it was made with recycled material I understood that I was in front of a work of art of notable importance
Cool looking sculpture. If you like spiders! :)
It was made entirely with recycled materials. The artist wanted to compare the spider with the web of consumerism that makes us slaves to the economy
I love the spider sculpture and how they even made it look like a real spider
Nice one!
I really like the sculpture, I also found the philosophical discussion behind this work of art very interesting
I think it is very interesting. When I saw the pictures that were not close ups, it reminded of Steampunk design. I appreciate the chosen materials, and the way they painted it is really nice. It highlighted the joints, and the contrast really gave it character. The meaning/message is very thoughtful. I can see some sand sculptures, so I guess this is close to the penguin in the sand. It seems the artists in this event really care for the environment and the people.
You understood the situation very well. The exhibition was in fact dedicated to ecology and respect for the environment. The artist who made the spider gave his own contribution with this artistic work made with waste material
La metafora è molto interessante, potrei dire che è vera, guardate il modo in cui il consumismo avvolge noi esseri umani, ci avviluppa a tal punto che a volte compriamo articoli non prioritari.
Proprio così... purtroppo vedo persone, anche molto vicine a me, che vedono il week end come il periodo più bello della settimana perché si va a comprare qualcosa. Siamo ormai dei burattini in mano al consumismo.
