ARTWORK
2014
Park of Villa Sucota

These unusual benches emerge from intricate connections between tangible and intangible elements. They carry the memory of a former life, as if they had been taken from elsewhere, with their concrete bases bearing encrusted oyster shells—traces of some undefined coastline. Bibby approaches sculpture as something that can be drawn from any component or form of real things, combining these sources with a distinctive approach to building installations. His works are infused with textual layers: the titles themselves carry cultural and socio-political references drawn from personal or borrowed texts. These sculptures hover between object and place, prompting questions about how we experience space—especially the boundaries between the public and the private.
