Works

His works are defined as adaptation to the most disparate situations, from squares to abandoned buildings, to industrial and war archeology. The “wrecks” in turn contain the “worlds of rebirth”, models of ideal and fantastic microclimate that motivate the dark void inside the “wrecks”.

Di Cocco installs his “Great Shipwrecks” all over the world: “Great Shipwrecks VII” in Prato in 1988; “Betsy III” at the former Breda of Pistoia in 1989; in 1990 “Olympia / Zeppelin III” in Berlin; the “Catalina” at Villa Romana in Florence in 1992; “Animalia / Great Shipwrecks XII” in Cologne, again in 1992; “Car-Naval / Mirage I” at the French Institute of Florence in 1994; “Cant I / Alma Divisa” in Skagen (DK) in 1995; and again in 1995 “Car-Naval Virginia I” at the Cargo Gallery in Marseille.
