Recently, Luciano Massari has created »islands« from white Carrara marble. The amorphously formed basins catch the rainwater and another island, in thin marble, floats on top. According to one critic, the artist is thematising the feeling of security as well as a travel motif; it thus symbolises the human in an unfamiliar, uncertain environment.
