In a 1997 interview, when asked what makes an object beautiful, Claude Lévi-Strauss replied: “The network of internal relationships that make it denser than the other objects of experience surrounding it.”

It’s unclear whether the anthropologist counted artworks among those beautiful objects. Yet, looking now at Anna Galtarossa’s sculptures, his statement takes on a distinctly critical resonance. Her object-works embody precisely that kind of density and intensity Lévi-Strauss describes — a charged presence that thickens the space of experience around them.
