Sergio Maltagliati turns the unfinished into an operating rule. In relation to Michelangelo’s model of the River God, his audiovisual system generates a different configuration in real time with every execution.
The work therefore cannot be reduced to a final image or to the video documenting it: it exists in the gap between a set of rules and their always provisional manifestations. Here, infinity is not a spectacular effect but the structural impossibility of closing the form.
