[two_third class=”” last=”no” ]
Twenty-one "photographic installations" and eight encaustic, made specifically for an exhibition that the artist conceived as a vibrant means of raising awareness of the viewer to use more environmentally friendly. A concept which is responsible Nails since the creation of the works themselves: print on cotton paper and ends his "photographic installations" with glass, wood, cardboard, thus pushing up the possibility that the work is perceived as an object of use and responsible consumption. No polluting material, all: 100% BIODEGRADABLE. It is in this sense that the title of the show, AWAKENING - 100% BIODEGRADABLE, can be understood either as spontaneous awareness, both as a suggestion.
If in encaustic Gianluca Nails communicates with the viewer through the evanescence obtained by the contrast between the modernity of the photographic medium and the age-old technique that sees the use of color pigments mixed with melted wax and then hung out with the brush on the printed image cotton (or on panel), in the "photographic installations" it does so using a "noise", the insertion of plastic objects of common use, that in their size oversize become part of the structure of the image.
And so, bodies wrapped in plastic in an ideal garden, connive at the same time and held hostage by the material, seem to dance together but limited in movement, are trapped, and yet they play and live with the same plastic, in a short circuit similar paradoxical, as a mechanism, the Stockholm syndrome, where they end up fond seized and defend their oppressors-kidnappers. In their semblance of human deity, those bodies want to remind us that here, now, in this world, we are given the chance to live, exist, and not only to survive to ourselves and to our waste; want to exhort us to a greater awareness that leads us to react to that "noise" becoming more responsible consumers.
The sample, accompanied by catalog published by Vanillaedizioni with an essay by Claudia Bernareggi, is open until 15 March (sea - see: 15.00 – 19.00, Saturday by appointment, free admission).
