MARCUS MANGANNI
Marcus Manganni is a sculptor creating work that interrogates the role architecture plays on mental health and interpersonal connection for people directly impacted by the criminal legal system.
Manganni’s large-scale public works are abstracted segments of institutional architecture created using the sun mapping process he developed while in solitary confinement.
These site-specific and ever- changing sculptures use reflection and refraction to engulf viewers in a new, and perhaps unfamiliar, environment–allowing them to experience firsthand how such architecture can be diminutive yet mutable.
A reflection on the violence and disruptive nature of solitary confinement, the pieces also serve as a thesis on possible solutions related to how society responds to mental health inequities in the system.
