One artwork
AILOVO is one artwork unfolding through one thousand individually created presences.
ENIT
The inviolable rule of the artwork
The Protocol
of One Thousand.
A public commitment by the artist to protect the limit, identity and final completion of AILOVO.
Read the protocol ↓The declaration
Not an unlimited series.
One artwork in a thousand lives.
Every AILOVO is an unrepeatable part of the complete work. Through this Protocol, Mauro Borella publicly undertakes to preserve the principles that define its identity.
An absolute limit
Exactly 1,000 will be born. Number 1000 will complete the artwork forever.
Ten years
Time is not a production schedule. It is one of the invisible materials of the work.
One identity
Every AILOVO receives an unrepeatable number from 0001 to 1000.
The archive
Every birth, certificate and provenance will be permanently recorded.
The guardian
Each work is entrusted to someone who continues its story and protects its identity.
The return to its origin
AILOVO is not shipped. Each piece is privately presented and personally entrusted to its Guardian in Venice, where the artwork originated. The presentation and entrustment are integral parts of the artwork and the Protocol of One Thousand. Travel and accommodation are the Guardian’s responsibility.
The final act
After
the thousandth.
Immediately after AILOVO 1000 is born, the original moulds will be signed, dated and permanently sealed. The act will be filmed, witnessed and preserved in the official archive.
The sealed moulds will become the final installation of the artwork: physical proof that no other AILOVO belonging to the same work can ever be created.
“From these moulds, one thousand lives were born.
From this day, no others will ever be.”
The artist’s pledge
AILOVO does not wish to exist forever.
It wishes to leave something that will remain forever.
Signed and dated by Mauro Borella, creator of AILOVO.
