(Don’t ) Try This at Home

(Don’t) Try This at Home is a series of experimental pieces created by using the action of heat to shape and mould foodstuffs and organic plastics. Trevisani’s research tackles the theme of the incontrovertible mutation which all bodies are subject to. Plastic - often imagined as an immutable element, not susceptible to the ravages of time - is here created from a perishable material, thus transforming it into a symbol of constant change. The irresistible evolution of bodies is manifested here as both a feature of a ferocious vital impulse and the need for renewal so inherent to their nature. By combining bioplastic with elements of everyday life, Trevisani invites us to consider the body in a broader sense, including food, clothes and other objects that form a part of our perpetual evolution.
