Between you and me

"All of Luca's work seems to take place and develop within this incessant dialectic of body and time. Observing his work carefully, even within different cycles of works, this appears absolutely clear: the theme is always, obsessively, the body-time relationship through the signs that this relationship necessarily leaves behind. In the series of "casts" of whole bodies or individual anatomical parts, with their surface cracked as if from an irremediable drought, the fundamental theme at times acquires a monumental evidence of its own and this amplifies even more the same profound impression of being faced with to transfigured memories of what was once alive and real, but which is now nothing but a testimony, a footprint, a faithful imprint, in short, a "print", a sign of the times".
