progetto QD updates

progetto QD offers a view of ordinary italian landscapes and people. posted on progetto QD, this is a self-portrait i took 30 minutes after an invasive (and successful) dental treatment. half of my face was paralyzed by anaesthetics...

crossing-over

this is me, offering portraits for free. pic by matteo casari

this is a series of animated GIFs, starting from portraits i took in quartiere della maddalena, in genova, during a site specific performance. this place best represents the multicultural prerogative of this town: it is a crowded crossroads in which people of different ages, professions, ethnicities and statuses converge. there i offered portraits for free, during a week day afternoon waiting for people to ask for a portrait. in return i would have sent the portrait as a gift. the action triggered a relational situation not only between the artist and the portrayed, but also among the bystanders, who called other people and invited them to strike a pose. the spirit of this place – a melting pot – is reproduced in the form of the GIF file, as it is the simplest, minimal way to juxtapose two different characters in a dialectical way.

spring is near!

i have just come back from corse, after the private view of e lusine at frac, the collective show i am taking part to. after many cold days, at last spring is coming over!

hello, you!

another urban drift around my hometown.

urban drift with gosplan architects

weeks ago i had a little walk with gosplan architects. in the meanwhile we could appreciate such a vernacular aspect of an underestimated neighbourhood.

get out of my way, or i'm gonna shove!

i need a good title for this work

yep, still the same. i have just finished the rough editing...

still on the same project.

working on this...

i don't know the name of this new project, yet. anyway it concerns the relationship between things and memories, all linked to the geography of home and the actual things themselves. this is a little part of it, come out of a pleasant  rendezvous with nuvola.
