The commanding serial installation stands as a definitive milestone highlighting the deep material manipulation and conceptual sensitivity of Ana Seggiaro’s acclaimed Durero series. This exceptional collectible textile art piece actively challenges the static limits of academic engraving, deploying large-scale printings of Albrecht Dürer's renaissance masterwork as an analytical baseline for visceral physical intervention. Seggiaro painstakingly re-architects the classical composition by layering translucent crimson silk blocks over the nudes and punctuating the graphic space with heavy, tactile textile medallions in malachite green, gold foil, and deep cobalt blue loops. This calculated structural interweaving of historical engravings and soft, life-infused fibers successfully dissolves chronological time into a tactile universe of overlapping sensory memory and altered states.
 
Ana Seggiaro's training as an engraver awakens her fascination for the works of Durero and Piranesi. This leads her both to recover the language of engraving itself through other media and to appropriate and dialogue with the works of these artists. This conversation, however, does not start from a solemn, pristine, or untouchable place, but from the recognition of her virtues, thus allowing her to operate, rebuild, eliminate, and retouch fragments to compose her own work. Starting from pre-existing works of hers, Seggiaro builds a kind of mimicry of the original pieces in an exercise of visual reconstruction that she uses as a structure for her production. But the works are just that, states altered by her gaze that resemble, without repeating, the original piece.
