Paola Pivi - Profile

The show was developed specifically for the exhibition space at the Portikus. Nine objects made of polished steel are on view, each consisting of 16-feet-tall pipe, a pump, and a basin. In each installation, a fluid is circulating continuously. The fluids - red wine, almond sirup, glycerine, black ink, olive oil, espresso, water, facial tonic, woodruff sirup - drop in one massive jet from the 5 inches pipes opening into the basin; given the extreme total height of the installation, they vigorously fall straight down with loud turbulence. The structure as a whole, then, is a rather impressive spatial installation, radiating massive power. Pivi has a reputation for realizing large-scale projects that highlight absurd aspects of our everyday world, confronting the viewer with unanticipated and spectacular situations. Her works place well-known objects in unusual contexts, imparting to them a modified meaning and function, thus exhibiting cultural and social conventions. Paola Pivi realizes conceptions and ideas of structures the viewer would not ordinarily get to see. The spectacular is here balanced with a certain Romantic notion of an inversion of all things.
