Mounts branches on the wall in such a way that they mimic the form of deer antlers in trophies decoration the halls of aristocratic hunting lodges. His primitive hunting and gathering confuses the disciplines of botany and zoology, horticulture propagation with the preservation of animal specimens. In the process, he poetically reconverts the symbols of gratuitous bloodsport into those of a naturalist’s careful foraging and attentiveness to cycles of nature. Malgeri installation also allegorises the mythological story, recounted in Ovidio’s Metamorphoses, of Apollo pursuit of Daphne, the nymph who, in order to elude the sun god’s ardent advances begged her father to turn her into a tree.
