Catalogue Note

Questa ricerca sistematicamente sperimentale trae le sue origini spirituali se non metodologiche nell'elementarismo e nel concretismo, non si propone di essere rottura o alternativa, bensì il proseguimento storico e quindi dinamico delle esperienze visuali non come caso mero e semplicistico esercizio di fenomenologia ottico-fisica, ma come struttura tesa ad ampliare la percezione.

This research that was experimental takes its spiritual if not methodological origins from elementariness and concretism;  it does not propose itself as a breakthrough or an alternative, but as a historical and yet dynamic  continuation of the visual experiences that are not random  or simply optical and physical phenomena, but a structure laid out to broaden one’s perception.
