Collage on canvas mixed with acrylic colors, drawing made for the Ironwood workshop.

This work is a chromatic and symbolic explosion that implodes on itself like a BMW engine in REM: powerful, dreamlike, disorienting. The perspective of a BMW motorcycle seen from above, but we soon realize that this is only the first illusion, the first lie of an altered reality...
The red background is not a simple backdrop, but an emotional magnetic field, a Martian desert in which the essence of the BMW has been lost and recomposed in a witty form. The black and white lines attack the surface with the surgical precision of a technical drawing, but the collage of words and images breaks all rationality: the BMW is transformed into a post-industrial totem.
On the tank you can read shreds of comics, advertisements and textual fragments that evoke a shattered and re-chewed pop culture. “Ironwood”, “Rabbia e Stile” become mantras of a BMW cult that celebrates internal combustion as something absurd. It's not just a motorcycle: it's a BMW cyborg, an urban samurai built with magazine clippings and psychic engines.
The boxer engine - the iconic symbol of BMW - appears broken down and reassembled in an almost Freudian way: two mechanical hemispheres like brain lobes, ready to process not gasoline, but dreams. The beating heart is not a combustion engine, but a collage! Each cylinder vibrates to the rhythm of a futuristic nostalgia, while the word "BMW" is everywhere yet invisible, evoked as a sacred name that must not be spoken in vain.
It is not a simple tribute to BMW, but a surreal exploration of its mythology. It is as if Sasacchi Mi Orso had dreamed of a motorcyclist on a Berlin night in 2076.
A visual trip where the engine is no longer a means, but a message.
