Exploring how it triggers unconventional spatial languages, between geometrical abstraction and figurative instances.

“My artistic statement is carved in my latest project Coscienza Intuitiva. Constantly trying to emphasize the lack of content, of language, of meaning, in the field of social relationship between people, that is mediated by images. Repeated, shared, liked. Where Truth becomes a moment of falsehood. Representation has become a simulation of the meaning of the present through superfluous repetition of any image. My work is fousing on the compilation process that visualizes the complexity of the current digital age, its fragmentation and acceleration, the accumulation and ubiquity of objects and images. I am trying to elaborate a new visual language based on the amalgamation and supercollection. Highlighting the value of the leftover and at the same time sculpting a reminiscence of specific junctures in time, Always defined as a bold critique towards the current social and image-related society, while trying to sculpt a tangible reference, a Physical Memento, an Archive of the current and past events. Challenging the relationship between beauty and culture.” —Federico Fauli
