Calamita Cosmica

Calamita Cosmica

Late Italian artist Gino De Dominicis was a man of mystery whose works often exhibited a surrealistic look at the human form, elongating, contracting, and distorting physical elements. His enormous sculptural piece titled Calamita Cosmica, translated as “Cosmic Magnet”, follows the multifaceted artist’s scheme of work. The 28-meter-long anomaly depicts an anatomically correct human skeleton, with the exception a pointy, beak-like nose in classic De Dominicis fashion.

I really appreciate this work of art because I think putting an anatomically correct human skeleton at this scale would force an individual to observe the human body from a different perspective.
