Hocus Pocus For further information: www.kpavio.com | info@kpavio.com Description: Who has never felt the attraction of the fascinating play of light and shadow of the celestial sphere on a beautiful evening? With this as his foundation, the artist conceived his latest sculptural project. Starting with a moulded skull with the upper teeth – the work of a master goldsmith – the artist applied two layers grandeur of the �rmaments. To complete the piece, he carefully selected watchmaking wheels made of various materials and arranged these on the skull to symbolise the stars and planets traversing the cosmos, the universe that surrounds us. For the �nal touch he decided to embed a piece of a watch movement in the shape of a moon in tribute to one of the celestial bodies which served our ancestors as primitive timekeepers, and, like skulls, to re�ect on concepts such as destiny, spirituality, life and death. Hocus Pocus The phrase, of uncertain origins, is used today in certain cultures when a magic trick is performed. It result from contemplating the universe, and, at the same time, the great number of unknowns it still holds. To reinforce this concept the artist chose to hide a small element inside the piece, so when it is shaken it makes a pleasant, yet somewhat enigmatic and mysterious sound which alludes to the fact that, despite its immense attraction, for humankind the celestial vault is still a majestic stage full of questions.
