archaeologist and cartographer (by Alice Padovani, ed) makes use of different contemporary languages – sculpture, assembly, installation, performance – alternated or integrated according to the final work and the idea from which it is generated. Recognizability takes a back seat to expressive needs, although there are some recurring traits, such as the use of insects and organic elements, the incidence of archetypal forms (you look for, square) and attention to the staging, which guarantee a certain visual continuity.
Moving on the border between reality and imagination, horror and attraction, destruction and recomposition, the artist gives life to compressed stories, small scenographies immortalized in a museum display case. The paradox lies in the desire to make a natural element immortal, by its nature corruptible, but that once it has reached a condition of stability it can last over time.
