The main element of Marco Cordero's sculptures is a book, a real book, which the artist appropriates but reworks: hollowed out, burned, torn from its function as a book. In his work, the book becomes a living organism, an assemblage of materials that, thanks to their combination, acquire a vital arrangement. In this series of works, Marco Cordero binds the fate of his books to rock, stone, and marble. This combination gives rise to surprising hybrids: books like rocks or rocks like books.
Cordero's works manifest as open zones, narrating shadows of words and profound meanings. The books, rendered almost unreadable, become both matter and a medium of expression, with evocative titles suggesting the infinite nuances and ambiguities of language.
