Lo Presti, selected some volumes of the Grande Enciclopedia Curcio published in 1968 and with an electric whisk sculpted part of the pages, simulating the “natural” effects of erosion. In dialogue with the cover images, Lo Presti shapes the pages of the volumes by subtraction, making the worked portion appear as a natural vision, The deconstruction of volumes is analogous to the situation in which the environment finds itself because of man.. The absence of stability and compactness generates precariousness and unpredictability, generating the difficulty of planning one’s survival and being able to have a vision of the future.
