Alberto Biagetti and Laura Baldassarri: Pet Therapy

Giant, lunar and docile cats become sculptural seats in the shade of soft palm trees colored with glowing coconuts.

Designed by Atelier Biagetti, they are sculpted to order by robotic arms that shape their forms from Second Life-certified amorphous polymer blocks. Each piece is numbered and signed by the authors and is part of a playground designed to find a new balance in the environment.

Each element of the installation is thus a functional sculpture thought of as a device capable of activating the idea of a house without boundaries, where the interior space blurs with the exterior space and where play becomes a serious thing that one can no longer do without. The scene, in which the observer unwittingly becomes the protagonist, also consists of some polychrome seats.
