An invitation to perceive the site
"Remo Salvadori's works are deeply connected to the dimension of the human body, to the person who observes and experiences the work. At the same time, the way in which they were created also brings them close to us. We don't just understand but we can also feel how Salvadori has cut, shaped and arranged his materials. One could say that his work is accessible, inviting us to go beyond the initial appeal of geometric variations, to absorb the intrinsic color and luminosity of the materials, and to explore their sometimes complex form and arrangement in further stages. In this sense, even though the scale here is completely different, Remo Salvadori's Germoglio for Peccioli can be seen as an invitation to perceive the site through his work. [...] The flower of life, to which the work alludes, is a symbol that already appears in pre-Christian architectural elements. In its site in Peccioli, within the context of a massive biogas plant and in direct visual tension with David Tremlett's large-scale pictorial work, the evocation of seeds and their blossoming into flowers conjures a very concrete and visionary notion of emergence, of creation, and of a new life. In Remo Salvadori's own works: 'If the circle is of a higher author, its indication reveals to us the vastness beyond the earthly dimension'."
(Frank Boehm, text written on the occasion of the opening of Germoglio, 2024)
