‘Le Teste in Oggetto (The Heads in Question)’ (2009) by Rosella Biscotti.
Found by the artist in the storerooms of the Palazzo degli Uffici in the EUR district in Rome, these five bronze sculptures were commissioned to Giovanni Prini (1877-1958) and Domenico Rambelli (1886-1972) for the 1942 World’s Fair, which was later cancelled. For this installation the bronze sculptures were temporarily relocated and shown to the public for the first time.
