Woollen –The Reinstained Apple
Michelangelo Pistoletto’s work is a powerful emblem of reconciliation between nature and artifice represented by the new myth of the Third Paradise.
Traditionally, the bite from the apple represented mankind’s detachment from nature. The Reinstained Apple, on the other hand, is a symbol of re-conjunction between the artificial sphere and the natural one.
Wool, which in this work gives shape to the apple, is a natural and continually renewable element: the undressing of animals to dress humans, to the advantage of both.
Woollen - The Reinstained Apple can currently be seen at Ermenegildo Zegna’s new Global Headquarters in Milan.
