In his works Flavio Favelli places the physical space and the mental space on the same level, creating installations capable of acting on the perception of the observer. The use of old furniture and everyday objects allow latent emotions to emerge, thus revealing the most intimate and hidden aspects of our everyday life. Exhibited for the first time at Villa Croce, for the second stage of the “Four Rooms” project, Specchiera became part of the Villa Croce collection. The objects proposed by the artist always arise out of a singular interference between something in existence and an interior reality which materialises in “mental objects”, modified to become part of the house and, in a certain sense, “of the mind”. Specchiera, was placed over the fireplace in the large entrance hall of Villa Croce. The work, incapable of reflecting images, create an interplay of light and shadow, thus displaying hidden, mysterious imagery.
