The solitude of prime numbers

In his works, the Arte Povera artist Mario Merz combines steel, stone and neon tubes. In the 1960s, the world was shaken by the protests of an entire generation. As part of this generation, Merz sent his own illuminated – and illuminating – messages, by using tubes to write short sentences and neon to give them light. What did he write? Merz speaks of the world, asks existential questions and shouts political messages. 1,2,3,5,8,13 is the Fibonacci series, which often appears in his work. It’s the mathematical law that rules natural growth, hence the force of nature. Merz also uses primordial forms, like spirals, which symbolize time; the igloo, a primitive refuge; prehistoric animals like crocodiles, iguanas and rhinoceroses. He transforms simple and humble objects into artistic materials, in doing so, making us reflect on the meaning of life.
