Epoxy resin, series of three, each 4 x 4 cm
IL TURNO DEL PADRONE, IL TURNO DEL PREDATORE, IL TURNO DEL PROTETTORE is a series composed of three dodecahedra (twelve-sided dice) in epoxy resin that bear an engraved word on each face. The numbers normally present on gaming dice are replaced by verbs paired two by two. Each verb is compared to a second verb very similar in form but not in meaning, such as: “Perdonami” – “Perforami” ("Forgive me" - "Pierce me"). A trinity of male figure plays this power game: the master, the predator, the protector, respectively the father, the husband, God. It is a cruel game to the detriment of those who suffer it. The prize never equals the punishment. Following the rules of the game, it is impossible to beat them.
