Ai Weiwei’s work “La Commedia Umana” was announced by the Museo Nazionale Romano and the glass studio Berengo Studio. This is one of the largest murano glass works ever made and consists of over 2,000 blown parts by the masters of Berengo Studio. With its colossal dimensions – over six meters wide, about nine meters high and weighing about four tons – hanging from the ceiling of a hall in the Baths of Diocletian in Rome, it amazes the spectators.
“Human Comedy” is more like a warning than a monument to human loss, in an attempt to discuss “death to glorify life,” said the Chinese activist and artist, who creates food for thought about future, wondering what is left of the bones of our shattered bodies.
The project started before the pandemic, but gradually acquired the transport dimension for the loss during this difficult period. “Human Comedy shows the liberated content of a human body: our open inwardness, the bowels of life stripped naked and offered to the view of all: our own mortality, expressed by the multiple parts that define our form,” Ai said. Weiwei.
“La Commedia Umana” will be on display until April 3.
