Giulio Paolini Belvedere (Look-Out), 1990

Against a sky-blue background, planets and celestial spheres stand out with the half-hidden the Barberini Faun in the center. The classical statue seems intent on observing the swirling movement of the stars surrounding itself. Each of the elements gathered here are united by an infinite distance from our present, both physical and cultural. It is precisely in this dimension of remote universes, of unattainable beauty, which eludes any contact and realistic evidence, that the fascination of these images resides for the artist.
