Sans titre
1968
These totems combine several sensory experiences: tactile, visual, spatial.Linked to the Arte Povera movement, Jannis Kounellis developed a multidisciplinary work in which he establishes a dialogue between nature and culture. The artist worked with raw materials - organic and mineral, human and animal - to compose what he called “vital ?gures”. This work is made of large wooden cross bars covered with wool. It has not been given
a title, the artist preferring to favour the instantaneity of feelings above words and cultural symbols. Between monumentality and sensitivity, the work evokes the precariousness of things.
