Caterina Notte
Caterina Notte, born in Molise (Italy) in 1973. He lives in Munich, in Germany.
His artistic journey began with research on his own body, obsessively scanned using the first A4 scanners, and then reassembled to obtain a real photograph of that new technological dimension, impalpable and domestic, already recalling the idea of the fragility and power of the individual in the face of new technologies.
His work has been presented internationally since 2001 and exhibited in galleries and museums in cities such as Rome, Milan, Detmold, Shanghai, New York, Montreal, Prague and Santiago de Chile.
In 2005, selected to participate in Alfredo Jaar's Advanced Visual Art Course at the Ratti Foundation, elaborates the urgency of social responsibility as an artist and thus chooses to use different tools to experiment with an increasingly direct and incisive form of communication, from video to performance, from installation to photography.
Caterina Notte's work makes visible the need for a new physiognomy of the body, no longer controlled or forced but aimed towards the recovery of an original state of freedom in an action of profound reconquest, in which the roles of observed and observer are constantly rewritten.
Predator is the photographic series that Notte has been carrying out since 2010 through forms of social participation that change from time to time, adapting to the places and subjects involved in the project, thus enhancing the complexity of the female figure in a daily dialogue of surveillance and rewriting of infinite new identities.
His ethical and artistic commitment opens up new forms of relational and social involvement and new fragile spaces of freedom.
