is a project based on the ideas and insights of the artist-artisan of glass Sauro Marzioli and the musician Luca Lampis. As the name implies, the focus of this project is glass, element that in the hands of Sauro becomes, from simple everyday labor material, expression of contemporary art, while in Luca’s hands it turns into music because it is primarily through carefully machined pieces of glass that Luca plays his guitar during the performances. The show itself, free from pre-concepts, is a performance during which Sauro gives life to a glass sculpture using recycled scrap, choosing the forms while Luca creates soundscapes, melodies and harmonies through the use of glass scrap, inspiring each other.
Through their hands, glass acquires a different value from that of simple material of consumption: the final work of art is created from pieces of glass that were “discarded” by the industrial production of objects of common use (windows, doors, vases …).

From the scrap, an artistic idea is built, an intuition, a thought that turns a waste, the redundant, the unusable, into a new entity, a rebirth. In a predominantly consumerist society, where buying a new it’s more convenient than repairing it, this artistic project is proposed as a revolutionary action that puts waste on an upper floor, with a different value than the one it would have in the form of an object of use as it was originally and theoretically intended. This way, you put to the center of everything not just the concept of “reinvention of use” of scrap, but especially the man, with its ability to think, to create.

It’s an opposition to the will of the global context that attempts the unification of ideas and thoughts and the squeezing of creativity. The choice of glass is also significant since it is both a hard and brittle material: this emerges with loud evidence in the final part of the  performance. The final action of the performance (in the places where it is possible to do it), the violent rupture of the work of art created during the performance, becomes the climax maximum of the whole action, representing not so much the end of hope in a society that must learn to renovate not to become extinct, but the life cycle of birth, life and death that even works of art and thoughts have. Perhaps a glass door will always be considered more useful and understandable than a sculpture, but why not try to make the glass talk, to make it sing inspired by a music composed for and with it?
