Short Review
In this case Agostino Bonalumi glues in a central position on a shaped cardboard a purple silk langoustine which is then surrounded superiorly by a gray-blue tissue paper and inferior by a blue tissue paper. We know that Bonalumi carried out these works only at the end of the 80s and then abandoned them essentially because of the difficulty of execution. In fact, both silk and tissue paper were subject to wrinkles during sticking so the work had to be discarded. The beauty of these works with silk lies in the fact that from them they give off luminous glows that are changing, both in position and in coloristic nuance, depending on the movement of the viewer in front of the work.
Attached to the photo of the work is proposed a short video to appreciate the changing that we have just said
