Artwork Description

Andrea Galvani’s powerful new sculpture “The Void Migrates to the Surface” (2025) unravels our preconceived notion of time—majestically altering our perception and projecting us into a greater magnitude of life’s cycles. The work is comprised by the monumental minimalism of just two elements, two temporal and material components that become its conceptual and physical structure: the cast of a large, thousand-year-old sacred stone from the Andean mountains that supports a high-definition screen playing a video of a butterfly that flies and lands repeatedly on the stone. Filmed with the most advanced technology in super slow-motion, 18,000 frames per second, time is thoughtfully and precisely dilated. The brief life cycle of the butterfly is astoundingly extended from a few weeks to 73 years, the global average human life expectancy.
