Composition and de-construction of matter, physical phenomena and chaos are the real protagonists of Elia Cantori's works. The constant changes in matter, the themes of regeneration and the suggestions deriving from the statement ‘nothing is created and nothing is destroyed' materialize in worksthat look simple, ironic and puzzling at first sight, but are actually profound and contain a wealth of productive references.
