Tredici sculture monumentali a Stoccolma. L’artista italiano Davide Rivalta ridisegna lo spazio urbano
Italian artist Davide Rivalta has installed thirteen monumental bronze sculptures of animals—including lions, rhinoceroses, and buffalo—across iconic public spaces in Stockholm. The project, titled 'Blowing Figures into Space,' places the life-sized, pedestal-free figures directly on the ground, allowing them to blend into and subtly disrupt the urban landscape.
The installation represents a significant public art intervention that redefines the role of sculpture in the contemporary city. By inserting realistic yet displaced animal figures into the urban fabric, Rivalta creates a critical device to question the relationship between humans and the non-human world, moving beyond spectacle to alter the city's perceptual codes.
