Fortuitous
archaeological encounters
"Fortuitous Archaeological Encounters" is a group of sculptures made of imaginary findings from different historical periods, such as broken statues, heads, or limbs as they sometimes appear just after being digged out of the earth and laid down randomly at the dig' side. There, a woman's torso may find itself close to a satyr's or to an emperor's mouth, and male and female torsos may inadvertently intertwine as if in the act of love. Through some of these 'encounters' Fiume has also tried to re-create the situation where such fragments, once in a museum, are laid out with cues for the visitors to guess the original forms of the sculptures by filling in the missing parts through their own imagination.
