Pietro Campagnoli, trained in the field of Graphic Design and New Art Technologies at the Albertina Academy in Turin, develops a sculptural concept he calls "plaster armor". The sculpture no longer becomes an object in its own right, but refers to and "absorbs" the creative and bodily soul of its participants, and of those who serve as models for them. The artist's main objective is to try to make the "spectrum" of the different disappear and change it into a "spectrum" of the different, transforming it into a more human and empathetic form originating to eliminate any cultural and social barriers of prejudice. The "plaster armor" does not serve to protect the view of the interior, but enhances the inner essence.

The "plaster armor" does not serve to protect the view of the interior, but enhances the inner essence.

The sculptures are therefore the meeting point between the static nature of the subjects and the movement of the sheets that cover them, a duality that recalls the intertwining of these two states in human life.
