Plastic Flower - land art - Pierluigi Monsignori Potsy - Umbertide

Plastic Flower
As first impression and with a glance without reflection this new installation of Pierluigi Monsignori Potsy may seem a beach simply transposed into our green Umbrian countryside. It make sense from a logical point of view, in Umbria there is not the sea, but a vision of this kind is too far removed from the deeper meaning that the works of Potsy always wanted to convey in terms of philosophical and social meaning, it would be a trivialization of what the artist wants to convey with this work.
The wind that crosses the beach umbrellas is not the scent of sea breeze, but the real vehicle of a vibration determined by the acceptance of our selves, we not have to look like other people, to far for us, at any cost, the same persons we see every day through cold flat screens.
Looking deeper, in fact, we understand that there are so many intrinsic meanings than the conception of the event. A singular umbrella protect us from climate adversities but in this case can also be understood as wanting to protect against life's adversities. Visitors may feel enraptured by the sight of so many "plastic flower" places in a field in the village of Umbertide Campaola (PG), for it's psychological characteristics this location bring us back to the desire to rediscover a different socialization, in this community to mantain relation with other people is still very important .Comes the need to explore unusual forms of expression: these trends result in the Landart whit wich you must conquer outer space, making them the fruit of our society, to retain ancestral memories despite the complex technology also makes the existence of man confused. This form of communication is far from the commodification of art and it is far from profits, rather tends to make us enjoy what belongs to our existence for a momnet we feel the nature and we are part of it before the return to the technology of everyday life, but after all also plastic flowers are technology. Speaking with the artist this is his thought: a plastic flower lives without a season in the extreme opposite of nature, placed alongside poor and muddy puddles. Plastic Flower is not that a future not far away, the epilogue of a dramatic impoverishment of the mother earth that is not able to create new fruit anymore. This is the third installation of this surface and the players are again the polymeric materials that with their colors clutter the field, we wear theese materials and more often they replace parts of body. They show that we are getting closer and closer to resemble the plastic, here is the gist of plastic flower, natural elements are processed and made unrecognizable to the nature that surrounds us, land feeds us but it can't recognize us anymore. Unfortunately many people, in an attempt to mimic stereotypes of rubber, constantly undergo themselves to cosmetic surgery treatments to avoid the natural and beautiful flowing of the time on them body.Increasingly we use polymers to make cosmetic changes, so the loved and heated polymer become a part of our body and instead of beautiful flowers, even with our flaws that distinguish us from one another, we become same as the plastic flowers. When we will die our progeny will find in our human remains the fruit of our vanity, not being more biodegradable when we die we will have to be disposed of as special waste in the same way of the other polymers.
The Land Art installation Plastic Flower in 2007 is three years ahead of the bill presented in 2010, that will ban plastic surgery cosmetic purposes on children who want to look like the star of the moment stereotyped by the media.
We are increasingly alone in the human evolution, much more in contrast with our originally nature, so we are slothful polymers immersed in an incomprehensible sunset in recent years we live in a total replacement of all natural elements in our artificial habitat.
Reflect.
