Natura Morta

In another installation, Caloro combines the calipers with fruit and vegetables, creating a curious composition a Natura Morta.  Consciously opting for the Italian title of what is known in English as the “still life”, the artist increases the tragedy of the natural products, which will spoil during the time they are exhibited. What is shown here as a staged, and at the same time natural, process is pitted critically opposite the normative forces of the food industry. The calipers ensure that our thoughts remain with the norm measures we use for fruit and vegetables while they take their natural course, dry up, shrink, and therefore, evade the strict demands of the market.
