INCARNATIO DUABUS ROTIS ROTATIS
PINO PASCALI REINCARNATION ON TWO WHEELS
sculpture cycle
2011
Incarnatio duabus rotatis rotis creates an hypothetical scenario in which the August 30th, 1968 -the day of his last motorcycle accident- Pino Pascali survived instead of dying days later, at age 33. The remaining sketchbooks, the artist's notes, last interviews and words, talks and meetings with the artist friends (such as Eliseo Mattiacci, Claudio Abate or his gallerists as Fabio Sargentini and Gian Enzo Sperone) are the tools to realize a post-mortem cycle of sculptures: AMACA; FORCA DI FORMICA; SCALA DI SABBIA (realized in the 2011); FORESTA CALDA VERDE; LE TAVOLE DELLA LEGGE; COLONNE NEL MARE; URURU O TEMPIO DEL SOGNO; SPAURACCHIO; BAOBAB; CORDA DEGLI EQUILIBRISTI (still to realize).

INCARNATIO DUABUS ROTIS ROTATIS #1
performance
Jewish ghetto - Scalamata Art Space, Venice
2009
"I sew a mask copy of the one Pascali used in 1965 at Plinio De Martiis' La Salita gallery (in which Pascali himself officiated at a death mass in front of a Requiescat).
I rush into the gallery masked, roaring with my voice as if I were riding a motorcycle. After passing through the audience and gallery space, I stop to draw some sketches on the wall. They are Pascali's unrealized projects (found in his personal notebooks). The performance made in Venice anticipates the sculptural cycle that I will make only in 2011."

INCARNATIO DUABUS ROTIS ROTATIS #2
performance
manifesto 100x70cm , glue, transcription from a letter
Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa, Venice
2011
Pascali writes a postcard to Cesare Brandi on August 18, 1967, in which he informs the historian of the accident he was the victim of, "I was fine," Pascali will say in the postcard. A year later he died in an entirely similar accident. The transcript of Pascali's postcard is paired with the photograph taken by Roberto Dell'Orco.
