About this artwork
Automa brn-21 is a small androgynous bronze bust. Its skull can be opened with a hinge mechanism to reveal a shiny golden brain.
Francesca is interested in life, and while most of her sculptures celebrate life and all its facets, this particular piece is about a vision of artificial life. This theme was more common in the artist's research especially in her early years of studying art.
This is a series of 6 pieces, the patina is handmade and… may vary a little, and it is one of its characteristics and beauties.
The sculpture dimensions include the pedestal size.

« The stories of each character, isolated in an intimate and personal dimension, are reflections on human values, perceptions and emotions. »
Francesca Dalla Benetta is an Italian sculptor based in Mexico. After 10 years working as a makeup artist in the film industry, Dalla Benetta is now a dedicated full-time artist. Her work is characterized by anatomies and mixed forms. Faces and human bodies are combined with different textures, skins and elements, giving rise to hybrid and fantastic beings. Through unusual, strange and surreal bodies, her pieces focus on the problems of transformation, identity, the sense of belonging, self-perception and dreams.
