Fractus
Antonio Carena 1988, stone painted with acrylic
A broken sky that can be interpreted in different ways. When a plane exceeds the speed of sound (1200 km/h), it encounters resistance like a wall, overcome with a characteristic “Bang,” and it seems as if the sky is shattered into a thousand pieces. Another interpretation: a child’s game, after drawing the sky, cuts it out like any object—a house, a tree—that he sees around him.
