Le Peripezie del Segno /
The Vicissitudes of Sign
Le peripezie del segno (The vicissitudes of signs) is a series of dynamic collages presented in a video loop.The collages proposed, rather than being static two-dimensional pictures, rely on the actions of leafing through, folding, overlapping, and hiding, letting mutable meanings emerge between the proposed images. The process behind the realisation of these works is intuitive and searches for contrasts and affinities between the found images.
The materials used for the collages come from different sources: illustrated books about planet Earth, books on animal and human evolution, books on gardening, magazines used to display industrial progress, postcards…
Le peripezie del segno is meant to be a playful act of discovery around the world of images and the things they refer to. Tematically, this series of collages tries to hold together and create a dialogue between the cultural and the biological by intertwining phenomena and objects belonging to different times and spaces, so to reflect on the multitude of existences.
