In Uncini’s experience, the encounter with a standard building element, such as a brick, and its subsequent use can be regarded as a determining event. Above all, Uncini considers its value as a modular unit that is capable of supplying […] pure geometrical abstractions. The element that defines each of his new creations with bricks is shadow, which has become a constant presence in his entire production in recent years.
