The exhibition presents a selection of works by Achille Perilli belonging to the cycle that, beginning in the late 1960s, marks one of the most concentrated and continuous phases of his research. To fully grasp its scope, it is essential to recall the context from which it emerged: the experience of Forma 1, co-founded by Perilli in 1947, which initiated a sustained reflection on form as a dynamic process and on space as a conceptual dimension, never conceived as a mere support or representational field.
Within this framework, form is understood as a condition of permanent tension and transformation, a premise that underpins the artist’s subsequent developments. At a moment defined by the crisis of traditional perspectival systems, Perilli articulated a rigorous theoretical position, set out in his text Indagine sulla prospettiva (1969). Perspective is questioned as a coercive device of vision and replaced by an unstable structure based on the interaction of color, line, tone, and form. The work thus renounces the presentation of a legible image or identifiable space, reducing visual information to the point of becoming an open, ambivalent experience, devoid of definitive resolution.
