He worked for several months creating the cubes, from compounding the material through layering and forming to drying and firing them in a kiln built especially for this purpose. Piled up to columns in the exhibition, they resemble the proportions of the human body and at the same time create an architecture reduced to the essential. Each cube bears the traces of the work process, following Sodi\u0026rsquo;s typical approach: the process of trying out and arriving as a result whose appearance he may influence, but not foresee. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45529188204808,"sku":"9783775742771","price":48.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775742771_799b614d-4d4e-4e43-9622-fe3ec5a4df5c.jpg?v=1744050069","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/18020-bosco-sodi","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
