A sculpture on curve
Made of Cor-Ten steel, Centrifugo is almost a parallelepiped, empty inside, uneven in its shape and broken down longitudinally to be able to bend 30° inside the hairpin. A deconstructed volume on four large wheels, two of which, those inside the curve, are solid to the ground and the other two, the outer ones, almost lifted off the ground due to the inclination.
Unlike the canonical position "on the public square and erect", the sculpture of Cavenago is inclined and on a hairpin bend.
Unlike the monument on pedestal where the public is around, its placement along a road allows the vision only while moving , better if aboard a vehicle on the way to Peccioli. The shape of the work, although characterized by minimal essentiality and while remaining firmly anchored to an abstract dimension, unequivocally refers to cycling racing, evoking with its position and placement the figure of the runner bent into a curve. The title is a reference to the centrifugal force that comes into play when a vehicle speeds through a curve.
Installation on the parking structure before the restoration of the campaign plan.
