Giacomo Layet (1993, Venice-Italy) lives and works in London. His work explores the relationship between the individual and the urban/natural context in its everyday practice. His visual research takes its starting point from a  collection of found objects and materials which are useful to express personal narratives. In a process of appropriation and alteration, his practice adapts and transforms mundane objects into a suggestive form, creating an interplay between actuality and the imaginary with a humoristic undertone. The contrasting features of materials, forced to be in the same space, seem to confront themselves in an apparent balanced coexistence.
