the work is part of the "people & things" series. My latest research is rooted in the current of Tape-art, a form of street-art evolved from graffiti, which involves the creation of works of art through the use of various types of adhesive tapes. The constant search for new formal solutions to talk about today's society and the curiosity to experiment with different languages to test their expressive potential are the basis of my work. In my latest works, in fact, the use of colored adhesive tapes has become the main stylistic signature through which I've created a new ironic yet bold communicative alphabet balancing between pop language and street art language. Neither of them actually. At the heart of this work stands the concept of “play”, which is an essential element of my artistic research. As contemporary man, play is a primary and fundamental need to me. It is a vital function contained within the two limits of the classical 18 tradition: the Ludus on the one hand and the Otium on the other. Combining common objects with politics or entertainment icons with evocative titles is nothing more than an operation to create a sort of rebus. I ask the user to solve the enigma within all the possible connections. Occasionally it is possible to find the correct key of interpretation, some other time instead one can only let getting lost to the simple Dadaist pleasure of nonsense. Today we can consider the objects as human extensions that define and circumscribe us. In an age of compulsive accumulation, objects qualify us, they speak for us and about us. Every need we have is told by an object we own. A branded dress to be accepted, an enamel for our self-esteem, the latest smartphone to be at the top. We live in the show society and, paraphrasing Guy Debord’s writing, I would say that this “show in which we live is not a set of images, but a social relationship between individuals, mediated by objects”. Nothing bad, it is our lifestyle which needs to be analyzed, understood and finally, if you want, chosen.
