RED TRUMP Print

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 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.
