Critical text by Alexandra Fongaro
Assalt, is a play on words alluding to the real weapons of Amedeo Longo and the crystallized salt used by Anica Huck. The artists collaborate with the memory of the objects, and intervene, creating a cycle of possibility of life and death.
Amedeo and Anica create the experience of fractional ceremony, where the spectator may pass under half of a saber arch, where the wares for tea time are present, but the substance itself is absent.
Invading the guns and swords with spines, making the shooter question if they wish to do harm to another, they must harm themselves in the process. If the shooter chooses to leave the weapon, the gun is disarmed by its cousin in nature.
What is essential in moderation becomes deadly in its excess overtime, as we follow the life of a plant at the opening and anticipate its end, as salt water is administered by Anica, through the same vessel that crystallized processes and time. The cups in their preserved wilderness project the designs clouded by their salt forms; as they rest on an artificial base in which their legs grow.
