A3 — Matteo Volonterio About

< >Matteo VolonterioSelected Work"My work is focused on the anthropocene relations, between human productions and natural productions that generate hybrid structures, aesthetic, social and political. Spaces I build are materialization of the Oikos, intrinsic flow of human and natural forces. My passion arises from the history, culture and geography of Bergamo, my city. Its mountains and hills are full of ancient hunting shacks called “Roccolo”; the first of them appeared on Bergamo’s Alps in the XIII century . The structures made by wood are covered by climbing plants becoming hybrid constructions that blend in with alpine habitat. These shapes inspire my consciousness since I was a child, when my grandfather, who praticed Roccolo-hunting, showed me the remote paths of the hills where he lived, full of medieval ruins and rural legends. These are my sculptures, spaces of human and not-human nature: the Oikos."made with Lay Theme
