A view on the natural act par excellence, the primitive cradle that welcomed men from the origins of their existence; the maternal womb and the universe that conceptually contains within itself is the story that Paolo Canevari, through his artistic vision, implants at the VOLUME! Foundation.

The gestation takes place inside a single chamber in which the ideal embryo, played by a naked man connected to a black rubber umbilical cord, poses motionless and standing while staring into space in front of him. The chamber remains uncontaminated, in fact there is no access for visitors who are contained outside the situation via a black rubber inner tube pressed between two walls, a slit that reinterprets the access of a vulva.

What Canevari proposes is his version of the story, which, as his, is confined by the possible corruption of third parties. That of the artist is not a closure, rather an invitation to reflection and the opening of a free thought that can embrace an infinity of possibilities, in a cyclical nature of creation and destruction.
