Concrete, the most widely used material in the world after water is the most evident manifestation of the human impact on our planet, but here it is seen cracked, fragile and embraced by plants, taken over by nature.

The exhibition title refers to the Capgras delusion, a psychiatric disorder in which a person, commonly diagnosed with schizophrenia, holds a delusion that another close person, pet or object has been replaced by an identical impostor. Joseph Capgras and Reboul-Lachaux first called the syndrome "l'illusion des sosies", which can be translated literally as "the illusion of look-alikes.

As in the delusion, the external casing of the artworks, the packaging first and the mould after, is what creates the form and it is the same both in the original items and in their sculptural contrapositions. The two objects are indeed not the same anymore, but similar and linked by forms, textures, and impressions. The illusion of a ghost from the past in a new form.

Styrofoam packagings are an example of our consumerist society where they are used only once for the transportation and safety of the objects, shipped and sold all over the world. They perfectly replicate the shapes and forms of the objects they encase, becoming industrial imprints of our ways of living.

After gathering discarded packagings, they are rearranged into moulds to be then cast in concrete new forms that hold memories of their past life.
