Cave Library

2021

Paolo Badesco Costantino Affuso

The library, amidst books, souvenirs, photographs, paintings and art, bears the soul of the person who inhabits a home, more than anywhere else. A selection of memories and affections, dedicated to preserving and exhibiting the tastes of its creator.

"Cave Library" creates independent spaces, niches in the plaster walls that contain all kinds of characteristic Raw&co objects, like the cabinets de curiosités of 17th century collectors. The single-tone plaster and terracotta blends with that of the objects, creating the illusion that they have always been a part of the wall.

"The artist's work is therefore nothing other than to chisel away the superfluous material and liberate the figure imprisoned in the marble". Michelangelo Paolo Badesco-Costantino Affuso
