How could we represent our mistakes?
Here’s how artist Daniele Sigalot answered this question.
“Maybe with a crumpled sheet of paper, because bad ideas get thrown away, unrealised projects don't get picked up, they get quickly filed away, but are we really sure they didn't leave some trace?
And mistakes are heavy, sometimes like boulders, and turn into a sense guilt, regret and remorse.
Piling them all up together, they can reach half a tonne in weight, then they roll over and crush you, even if they do not fall on top of you.”
The sculpture is a “shape that seems light becomes heavier by accumulation; (…) not a sheet of paper, but it’s a piece of aluminium, and one on top of another, they become a giant figure, nothing valiant or heroic, but a monument dedicated to that which we would like to forget about ourselves.”
