The work · 2012
One coin, one turn. Large in the foreground stands a red gumball machine, the glass filled to the brim with balls in red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet.
Behind it, tower blocks rise, their windows points of yellow light. Above, a sky of deep blue with bright scratches; below, ground in warm sandy brown, softly blurred.
A work from the early years. The city stays small and distant; happiness is round and colourful and costs almost nothing. Basta una moneta – one coin is enough.
In the stairwell it reveals itself step by step: first the towers, then the glass, and at the top, all of the red.
