Celestial body 2020
In my series of sculptures "Bodies", I try to unleash the capacity for metamorphosis inherent in earthly beings and matter; a metamorphosis originated either in morphogenesis or through human action and which I see as a poetic reserve.
Celestial body is a terrestrial fragment of foreign origin. It reminds us that the earth is composed of extraterrestrial bodies, meteorites or stars. Being on earth means entering a space of mutual co-participation and co-activity of beings and objects.

Mutilated body 2020
In my series of sculptures "Bodies", I try to unleash the capacity for metamorphosis inherent in earthly beings and matter; a metamorphosis originated either in morphogenesis or through human action and which I see as a poetic reserve.
Mutilated body explores the necessary connection of celestial bodies with the earth. It explores the fact that the earth is a condition, and as such it conditions and is conditioned. It links everything that comes into contact with it in a condition that is both specific and general. It establishes links and limits, and at the same time it liberates bodies.

Wounded body 2020
In my series of sculptures "Bodies", I try to unleash the capacity for metamorphosis inherent in earthly beings and matter; a metamorphosis originated either in morphogenesis or through human action and which I see as a poetic reserve.
Wounded body represents the metamorphosis of the incarnated body through the wound, sometimes violent opening of the body to the world.

Cyrielle Marchetti
France
Born in a mountain village in the North-East of France, Cyrielle Marchetti was trained in Paris in foreign literature and languages.
Always fascinated by natural and architectural volumes and textures, she turned to sculpture and graduated in Ceramics at the art school Ar.co in Lisbon (Portugal)
She currently lives and works between Lisbon and Sicily.
She finds inspiration particularly in geology. She investigates figuratively how geological dynamism, morphogenesis, and glaciology have become a poetic reserve capable of altering the perception of time, space, and human actions, allowing a new space to emerge, untouched by the abstract logics of economic trans-actions. In her sculptures she tries to unchain the capacity for metamorphosis inherent in earthly beings. In this sense, her sculptures are closer to the alchemical activity of metabolization than to the logic of vision, or prevision.
