Affioramenti is a painting conceived for this small votive shrine on the wayside of the hill of San Licerio. Marked by time and deprived of its icon, this spontaneous architecture, an expression of popular devotion, glows of a new light. In the painting, six male characters are depicted as they execute a temporary choreography - constructing a pyramid formed by their bodies, arranged in precarious positions. The subjects are tangled in a playful challenge that looks still underway: some appear as winners, others defeated; some seem involved, others detached. In Affioramenti, the representation - as it often does in Manuele Cerutti's work - creates a tension between history of art and today's human condition, by isolating the "actors" in a dimension within which space and time are suspended.
