Exhibitors List VOLTA4Italo Zuffi
Born 1969 in Imola, Italy
In La Replica Italo Zuffi recreates the building blocks in marble from Carrara and a tiny semi-precious stone that are meticulously carved. The work refers to the human nature and our desire to build and destroy. Since childhood we play with Lego and Tinker Toys with this idea of constructing and destroying. Italo Zuffi embarks on an absurdist task to manually replicate industrially made materials in precious stone. La Replica has a strong connection to architecture. The bricks refer to the ABC of the construction and architecture.
