Hand-thrown concrete on styrofoam packaging.
The works from the series “L'illusion des sosies” (transl.: The Lookalike Illusion) are made of concrete. For Davide Ronco, concrete as the second most widely used material in the world manifests the human influence on planet earth. He chose the title of the series with reference to the Capgras Syndrome, a psychiatric disorder in which the person concerned believes that people close to him/her have been replaced by doppelgangers. Joseph Capgras and Jean Reboul-Lachaux originally called the syndrome "l'illusion des sosies". Davide Ronco takes up in his concrete works this lookalike illusion insofar as he refers to Styrofoam packaging. Packaging and concrete objects are similar in shape, texture, and details, but they are two different things. Davide Ronco sees styrofoam packaging as characteristic of contemporary consumer society: it is used once for worldwide safe transport, where it precisely depicts the shape of the items sent in it and is then disposed of as waste. In Davide Ronco's work, they are now given permanence through the material concrete. At the same time, David Ronco employs the idea of form and original: the original is depicted in the form of the styrofoam packaging, but the form cast inside has a completely different external appearance. The cast still appears as a reminder of earlier forms. The results are monumental works of archaic, mysterious appearance.
