Borondo begins to work on his production elaborating both graphically and conceptually the considerations about the column as an element of connection between man and nature and, as if it were a sign of that connection he is looking for, he runs into a work made by Edoardo Tresoldi, in a collaboration with 56Fili, in the Varsi Art laboratory. The column screen-printed by Tresoldi together with 56Fili, which transport on paper the compositions created for the installation “Opera” on the seafront of Reggio Calabria, tell of an ethereal, light element that soars upwards, aiming at the sphere of the sacred in which it tends to disappear. That element that feeds the entire poetic of Tresoldi, which tells us about the absent matter, emptying the architecture from its physical mass and transforming it into pure language, able to merge with the elements of the landscape and seek contact between man-made space and natural space. Borondo inserts himself into this imagery with a pictorial and instinctive gesture, depicting an equal and opposite drive, i.e. the site that holds the column anchored to the ground, which keeps it tied to the organic, material, and mutable sphere that generates life.
