For 2016 Anglet Biennale, Andrea Mastrovito created "Exit Light", three groups of sand scultpures depicting figures emerging from the water, only to be quickly engulfed by the ocean. At the end of each day, the sculptures are destroyed by the sea, the sun, the wind, the rain—by the elements. Andrea Mastrovito's creation is not only a reflection on the movement of peoples and the burning issue of refugees today. It is also, in all its obviousness and simplicity, a symbolic proposition evoking the human condition. A daily struggle against the absurdity of reality. A battle in which men try every day to escape their condition and are destroyed every day, only to be reborn the next day and start all over again. The ensemble, entitled Exit Light, refers to the myth of Sisyphus, dear to the artist: doing, again and again, aware of the ephemeral and with no goal other than the effort of doing.
