Chakra (2021)
Corten steel
c. 3.0 x 4.3 x 3.2 m

In 2001, a tender was launched in the city of Turin for the redevelopment of Piazza Galimberti, which had been the city’s largest food market. In order to make way for the new Olympic Village, the food market was relocated. Relevant departments hoped to have an artwork that could draw the public’s collective memory of the food market. The winning work “Chakra” by Riccardo Cordero represents the centre of human spirit, reflecting the food market as an important part of the city. The sculptures are formed into a circle (just like a square in a square), allowing people to visit and appreciate the work from various perspectives.
