Ivano Troisi from Salerno

Your new daily ritual ...
Definitely characterized by a slower reflection, from a visceral impulse that slowly led me to a new level of observation of my less recent works. An innovative and profound approach that stimulates me to look at my work from a bold and unprecedented point of view.

With which objects and spaces of your daily life are you interacting the most?
One of the easiest ways to organize work is definitely using a PC and comparing yourself with colleagues and friends. What characterizes my daily life right now is certainly the observation of the world from the window. Through it I am lucky enough to admire a wonderful glimpse of the Picentini Mountains and the uncontaminated nature that characterizes them, since my home/studio is located near an orchard and other cultivated fields. Having no architectural barriers, I have the opportunity to observe the changes of nature, nature that I generally experience in an immersive way, keeping a physical distance from it, which allows me to interact with my elements in a different way.

We are dealing with a new time and space. What are you discovering or rediscovering about yourself?
Bad character and little tolerance.

What you're missing? Your personal experience of "absence" and "lack".
Watching the sea and breathing it. For me this time of year is an extraordinary time, it is the moment of renewal, the period in which nature, in all its essence, undergoes rapid and significant changes. Unfortunately I cannot experience these emotions in the way I am used to. I miss walks in the woods, cycling excursions, spring in all its being.

Museums and galleries have reacted to the moment with digitalization and virtuality. What are your "strategies" for establishing new relationships?
I don't have any specific strategies, rather I was very happy to answer the call #iorestoacasa | a call to action, to which the Mother Museum invited me, where I presented a work entitled Look inside which calls for reflection in this period of quarantine.
