«It seems Michelangelo Pistoletto, a key figure of the Arte Povera movement, has taken a page from Aretha Franklin’s songbook. His installation Rispetto (2025) features a large table, with a mirror surface shaped like the Mediterranean; the accompanying chairs are designed to evoke the countries that border the sea. Surrounding the table are 24 wall-hung mirrors, each cracked and partially covered with a colored wooden board with the word “respect” painted in a different language, Chinese, French, English, Greek, etc. This installation refers to Pistoletto’s Love Difference movement, meant to foster conversation between cultures to overcome global conflicts. By bringing the chairs and the ttable together, the Italian artist creates a space for dialogue». Daqui.
