[Prologue]
Constructed along the steepest and slipperiest slopes of questions about our psycho-emotional identity, the exhibition aims to unravel the filigree behind the private and collective narrative around the construction of one’s self. Along a path in which art and physical space become, respectively, metaphor and metonymy for a search into the nature of our being, the viewer is called to face a catabasis in the abysses of his own consciousness, using the apotropaic power as a tool for purifying all his emotional suffering and accessing, in this way, a greater understanding of himself. A true alchemical threshold, with the passage from one physical space to another, one accesses a dimension in which the realization of a reconciliation of the spirit is reflected in the state of constant transmutation of the visual matter. In the works on display, in fact, the path of initiation into one’s interiority becomes a moment of confrontation and relationship with technology, subjected to the hypertrophic potential of the digital, every identity stereotype is deconstructed to leave room for the tension of the search for one’s existential frame.
Giorgia Grassi [Roma, Italy, 1997]
Her work focuses on the theme of human frailty, hermeneutically understood as emotional suffering. Through her experiments with different media such as painting, installation, and video. The artist aims to give body to the evanescent, using the different subjects to allow each to achieve their own aesthetic catharsis.
Giovanni Lo Castro Roma, Italy, 1997]
His works, which oscillate between video-installations, photography and painting, investigate the media image in its various forms; focusing more among hybrid spaces, which break the dichotomy between real and virtual.
Enrico Pozzobon [Montebelluna, Italy, 1998]
His works, purely audiovisual, oscillate between the low and the high, between joking and poetry. Exasperating the fragmentary nature of today’s hypermedia condition.
Together, the two artists investigate the relationship of hybridization between the individual and the “technological” device, imagery and related perceptual upheavals.
