Something about us Artwork - Limited Edition of 5

My research is based on interventions that reflect on the present time by investigating its consequences on the human condition and the contradictions of a liquid, historical, intimate memory. At the basis of my creation process is the gift. I ask people and families to donate their domestic and personal sheets and fabrics to transform them into shrouds of memories, sentimental flags that summarize the time, pain and intimacy of which they are silent witnesses. I collect each story with attention and care to insert its existence into a broader context, in which every individuality has a value in being in the world. +Biography Luca Granato (Cosenza, 1999) is a visual artist based in Italy. Strongly interested in experimentation, his projects are multidisciplinary and long-term investigations into the antinomian conditions of the present time, ranging from sculpture to performance, from environmental installation to video art. Through an anthropological approach, linked to ethnographic, historical, social and ecological issues, his research investigates personal and collective intimacy and the state of precariousness of memory, liquid and labile, determined by processes.
