Futurobjects (2022)
"Perhaps this is the most interesting point of all: seeing what happens when there is nothing left and finding out if, even so, we will survive." Paul Auster
Futurobjects is an ongoing sculptural series that extends the reflection initiated with Secature, reimagining fragments of discarded chairs as speculative artefacts of possible futures.
Each piece begins from an act of cutting — a deliberate fracture that becomes, paradoxically, the condition for union.
The broken structures are recomposed into hybrid forms that hover between ruin and rebirth, domesticity and totem. Their once-functional geometries dissolve into new organisms — fragile, uncertain, yet luminous.
The point of rupture, rather than hidden, is carefully sealed with gold: a symbolic suture that both honours the wound and transforms it. The gilded line becomes an architecture of continuity, an act of care that turns destruction into possibility.
These sculptures emerge as archaeological futures — relics from a world where repair has replaced production, and where survival is measured through reconfiguration rather than replacement.
In reassembling what has been discarded, Futurobjects proposes a material ethics of persistence: an invitation to imagine continuity not as wholeness, but as the beauty of what endures through fracture.
The series continues Rizzetto’s exploration of the cut as both gesture and philosophy — not a line of division, but a golden threshold between what has been and what might still become.
