In La Mia Ultrafragola series, Clerget explores the frontier between art and design, and their place in a modern society. The series, imagined to be displayed in contemporary shop-windows, refers to Walter Benjamin’s analyse of passages and shop-windows as an unprecedented Capitalism that comes together, combining commerce and aesthetic emotion, creating a world of images and market dreams. The series is also inspired by Ettore Sottsass famous mirror, Ultrafragola. With La Mia Ultrafragola series, the artist wonders about the aesthetic paradigm in a capitalist world entered into the stage hyper-modernity dominated by ambivalence. Can Art escape this condition?
