The passion that drives Pontiroli’s work and its strange, surreal atmosphere is turning “the narrow vision that we have  of the world upside down” and disturbing “our imagination while shaking an accepted reality with images that are as comprehensible as they are familiar.” 

The Freudian notion of the “heimlich” and the “unheimlich” (the familiar, or homely, and the unfamiliar, yet known, waiting to be dug out from our unconscious) comes to mind, as he distorts symbols and mixes incompatible universes to upset our sense of reality.
