Dario Cabello: Metamorphosis – Assemblages

The works in the exhibition have been created from objects that others have abandoned, in which Dario sees a bleak beauty, giving new life to old things.

A significant influence on the artists thought process has been Franz Kafka's short story "Metamorphosis", which, according to several interpretations, describes the change of identity and adaptation to absurd conditions.

An assemblage (French: assemblage = layout, assembling, compilation) is a three-dimensional collage in the field of art, built from existing objects.

Dario Cabello is a participant in rehabilitative work at the metal workshop of the Uusix workshops. He has prepared the works of the exhibition during his work activities. The works are the property of the City of Helsinki's Social Services, Health Care and Rescue Services Division, excluding works owned by the artist and produced on their independent work days.

The closing ceremony of the exhibition will be held on Saturday, 31 August 2024 at 2–4 pm, when Dario Cabello's exhibition workshop will be held.
