Description of the work
Description of the work
It's pointless to define the photograph that inspired the work. But the interpretation is new. Because those workers in the Manhattan sky represent the crisis of identity typical of the modern world. The faces outlined by the iron sheet welded to the frame of the work " Lunchtime at the Top of a Skyscraper" are ours. They are those of the artist, those of a father who has just lost his job, those of a boy entering the adult world today who still has the ambition to look up to avoid being pulled by gravity, a perfect term to describe the heaviness of a world that no longer allows us to look up. The hazy tones are those of modern man, but hope lies in those faces in which we can recognize ourselves, once again. Faces that look down to the earth. Eyes that continue to gaze up to the sky. Because the future, hope, the bright lights, are revealed only to those who have the courage to rise. The city in the background is Manhattan, but also Rome, Paris, Bombay. Postmodern man grappling with his indomitable will to grow. In those faces, you too are there, gazing at the work. Look at it carefully. You are there.
