 The concept of “emptiness”, which Corte takes from classical art, takes on an ironic connotation in this series of works, projecting the aesthetic dimension of sculpture into new areas including the concepts of pleasure and pain, formal refinements and scatological eroticism.The "Devotees and Wannabes" series involves a group of small and medium-small metal sculptures designed by the artist as artificial body parts – fingers, limbs, etc.– missing as a result of voluntary amputation.
