His controversial 2021 piece, titledIo sono(I am), is made of absolutely nothing.
Understandably, most people would struggle to recognize an empty space as a legitimate work of art.
The buyer received a certificate of authenticity along with a set of instructions.
For Garau,Io sonois about embracing nothingness.
Therefore, it has energy that is condensed and transformed into particles, that is, into us.
This isnt the first time Garau presented visible works.
In February 2021, he showcasedBuddha in Contemplationat Milans Piazza Della Scala.
The invisible sculpture was marked only by a square of tape on the cobblestone path.
You dont see it, but it exists; it is made of air and spirit, he explained.
In 2023, Garau introduced two more invisible sculptures titled LOVE, IMMENSE LOVEin Jerusalem.
Garau explains that they are made from the same material that love itself is made.
Garau encourages his viewers to see beyond the emptiness.
They are three meters high, and their shape is the one you yourself are now giving them.
He adds, I have created the most beautiful sculptures I was capable of imagining.
