It is not quite a found object because it is revitalized by a white background, but especially by the history that is found summarized in the two ancestral titles, then nothing more than the names of the two protagonist "players."
This work has two titles with respective measurements, they refer to the recess of the mold (High Profile Star Player) and to its missing mold (Armless Adventurer).
Like all fairy tales in this world, this one too begins from a subtraction; everything is triggered in the negation of one of the two protagonists, the positive one, optimistic but also dreamer, rebellious and unconscious enough as to lose himself in an aesthetic gesture of non-appearance, a gesture with no return.
It is a sculpture that doubles itself, that wants to escape itself into the other, that in in turn wants to escape from staticity and disperse its form in other situations beyond the limitations, cuts and amputations to which it is subjected constantly.
So a story within a story characterized by the same naive and engaging interpenetration that we find in Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, Jekyll and Hyde, Alighiero and Boetti, the Statue of Liberty, in and yang etc.
With this in mind, we can begin to play each with his or her own role, their name, date and measurements.
