Librarsi by Lorenzo e Simona Perrone: A unique work of art
Discover Librarsi by Lorenzo and Simona Perrone, a sculpture that transforms the open book into a symbol of uplift and aspiration. A small white ladder leaning against its pages invites the viewer’s gaze to rise, evoking lightness, dreams, and elevation. On view in the group exhibition <20 15×15/20×20 XII Edition at Galleria PUNTO SULL’ARTE in Varese, the work continues the artists’ exploration of the book as a cultural archetype and expression of identity.
The artists: Lorenzo and Simona Perrone
Lorenzo Perrone (Milan, 1944) and Simona Vanzetto (Florence, 1958) have collaborated for over twenty years on the LibriBianchi project. Their practice centers on the book as a universal form, using materials such as plaster, glue, glass, wood, and barbed wire to create works that blend art, memory, and social engagement.
Description
In Librarsi, the ladder resting on an open white book becomes a metaphor for elevated thought, for knowledge that liberates, and for imagination that leads elsewhere. A poetic invitation to ascend toward the intangible.
Conclusion
Librarsi stands out for its simplicity and evocative power. Discover this sculpture at the <20 15×15/20×20 XII Edition exhibition at Galleria PUNTO SULL’ARTE in Varese. A work that reminds us how reading can also mean learning to take flight.
