Statement
Our mind generates spaces where the dreamlike is mixed with the subjectification of reality, reproducing a new state of things. Assuming oblivion as a distorting and creative element of objectification and identification processes, I investigate the role played by digital image recording systems compare with classic analogue models.
My practice has a spiral trend where works simply represent snapshots of work processes. The materials used, collages, acrylics, drawings, and photographic or digitized images are reused at different times, transforming from the physical to digital constantly.
GlogauAIR Project
In 2019, Germany celebrated the centenary of the Bauhaus, with countless events and openings of spaces dedicated to this period of art. The Bauhaus understood that rationality should govern all aspects of life, from the organization of cities to the design of houses, clothing, utensils, etc. In my specific case, I am interested in investigating how the Bauhaus can be transferred to our digital age in the relationship between man and technology.
The project is structured in 2 stages, a first theoretical phase and a search for references that would serve as an image bank. I would continue in a second moment with the creation of a series of works that will build a formal investigation for the formalization of a future pictorial installation.
