AT E. Sculpture, material, measurements.

An artistic idea by the Italian lyricist and painter Alfredo Rapetti Mogol

The work is part of the “Elementary Alphabetic Decompositions” series, where the artist continues his thirty-year work on signs and language. In this case, he takes common phrases and redefines the spaces between the letters of words to make them appear “other” at first glance.

The letters remain the same, but the aesthetic vision of the phrase changes, deconstructing the known and giving rise to something other, something different, that forces the viewer to make an effort to decode to reach the original meaning.

With AT E, A Te, the artist somehow brings you back to the wonder of learning to read again.

As part of “Essere Con-Temporanei”, the widespread exhibition promoted from 13 August to 13 September 2020 by the Pro Loco of Poppi, the works of Alfredo Rapetti Mogol found a particularly prominent location in the historic centre of the Casentino village.

The light installations and large letters created by Mogol, positioned on Porta Santi di Cascese and the Castello dei Conti Guidi, established a harmonious dialogue with the medieval architecture, becoming one of the most recognizable elements of the exhibition.

Alongside Mogol, internationally renowned artists also participated, including Agnese Del Gamba, Clet Abraham, Antonio Massarutto, and Sara Lovari, the latter of whom is present in Poppi with her art studio and her permanent work, Le Bébé Géant.
