“Cenere” is the coexistence of two antipode concepts, it is like lighting a candle in a cemetery and choosing to lay it in an empty niche waiting for it to become.

The beginning the end is the beginning the end is the beginning the end is …

These are the words that Gonzalo Borondo chose to tell about Cenere, his latest project made within the funeral chapel of the Selci cemetery for residenza d’arte PUBBLICA.

A complicated intervention where the eight great paintings, born to describe the different ways of man, add to the same suggestions provided by the 8 glass plates on which the first symbol of life’s fall, the candle, dominates.

Fundamental then the light, used as a form of dialogue between the various artistic forms, but also as a combination of the cold of the painting and the warm carnations of the luminous beams surrounding the profile of the great central cross and the door designed specifically with glass and iron by which natural light comes in.

During the inauguration, the past May 27, was also presented the object of art that contains the textual, visual and material memory of this incredible project.
