Marcel Duchamp seduto su un Brancusi
1973
This work by Michelangelo Pistoletto combines silkscreen printing with mirror polished stainless steel to create a reflective surface that merges the photograph of Marcel Duchamp seated on a Constantin Brancusi sculpture with the viewer's own reflected image. The choice of materials and subject matter references both Duchamp's conceptual innovations and Brancusi's sculptural abstraction while Pistoletto's signature mirror technique emphasizes the viewer's participation in completing the artwork. By placing the viewer's reflection alongside these modernist icons, Pistoletto transforms a static historical documentation into an interactive encounter that questions the boundaries between artwork, subject, and observer.
