Benedetto Bufalino

In Benedetto Bufalino's art, a telephone booth can be turned into an aquarium, an upside-down car can be turned into a barbecue, a bus can become a pool, a closed hood a tennis court and traffic signs can become skateboards. Benedetto plays with our perception of reality by giving everyday objects alternative uses in a large format. The combinations of materials feel like something that can only occur in the dreams we dream at night, they are surreal and almost surreal. It is the unlucky and broken we humans produce that interests him. Vehicles that are to be scrapped and traffic signs no one takes any major notice of. Benedetto does not create museum objects, but the works of art are meant to be used and activated. The art works need people who swim in the pools, run on the running tracks and grill on the grills.
