The site chosen where the sculpture of Mauro Staccioli, is a small high ground in the territory of Motta d’Affermo: an outpost on the sea in front of the excavations of Halaesa, whose geographic coordinates touch exactly the thirty-eighth parallel. The artist, naming the work of art “Pyramid - 38° parallel”, translates the abstraction of the hearth dimension in a creative metaphysical perception, validating the real relation of the work of art with the geography of the location, in perfect line with the poetic of the artist that identify his works of art since the sixties. The work is an empty titanic tetrahedron, realized in corten steel. It’s partially sink in the rocky ground, and it shows a long split along the western corner, which make more specifically its existence in the distinctiveness of the site and the cosmic space. Like an introvert light, conscious witness of the cyclical and irreversible passage of time, capture the solar light through the long split, storing in its geometric inside the luminous reflections from the zenith to the sunset. From the immortality concept well-known correlated to the pyramid of the Pharaoh, takes the place the concept of transitional, through which the artist celebrates the life, in its incessant dream to be eternal.
