The
“idea of the cast as the dimension of the not represented”:
this is Modello ligneo. A three-dimensional piece of Plexiglas
(14 x 70 x 85 cm) resting on the two-color Roman mosaic around which

the admiration it arouses as an artwork, Prini insists that Modello
ligneo possesses no aesthetic qualities because it coincides
– exactly like a cast – with the image it allows to
show through. |
