Davide Hjort Di Fabio’s sculptures emerge through processes of casting, repetition, and material transformation. Often beginning with fragments of his own body, the works move away from direct representation and become unfamiliar forms that exist between the bodily and the architectural, the intimate and the constructed. Rather than presenting the body as fixed or complete, his practice explores it as something in constant transition – shaped through memory, sensation, and its surroundings.
In Crush (2026) and A walk in the park (2026), the relief-like glazed stoneware forms originate from a cast of the artist’s torso. Through processes of reshaping and transformation, the body becomes abstracted into a dense yet soft form that appears held, compressed, or slowly changing shape.

Darío Escobar often works with readymades, creating artworks that engage with both sociopolitical themes and art history. Living and working in Guatemala and Mexico – two countries marked by pronounced social inequality – his practice frequently examines the relationships and tensions between different social classes.
The works in the Crash series consist of car bumpers that were damaged in accidents and later collected by the artist from junkyards in Guatemala. After removing the bumpers, which had been distorted by the collisions, Escobar had them chromed while preserving the visible traces and deformations caused by the impact.Large car bumpers are often associated with SUVs fitted with tinted, bulletproof windows – vehicles typically linked to a small and highly privileged segment of society. In this context, the cars and their oversized bumpers become symbols of power, reflecting the social inequalities that shape the environments in which the artist lives and works. -
