Catalogue Note
“In qualche modo sono un artista da villaggio elettronico: nel chiuso della mia stanza, attraverso i televisori, la polaroid, la cinepresa e il disco, viaggio per il mondo con una velocità che il mio corpo non potrebbe mai raggiungere. Sono in contemplazione e in azione nel medesimo istante. Da una parte fuggo il mio tempo e tengo conto della rivoluzione in cui ogni cosa è diventata simulacro di se stessa, d’altra parte punto sulla mia unicità, sullo star fermo, sul conservare le radici. Sono un artista complesso.”
Mario Schifano in Achille Bonito Oliva, Enciclopedia della parola. Dialoghi d’artista, 1968-2008
“In some way I am an artist from an electronic village: locked in my room, through television, polaroids, cameras and CDs, I travel the world with a speed that my body could never reach. I am in an instant of simultaneous contemplation and action.
On one side I escape my time and take in account that the revolution in all things is just a resemblance of themselves, on the other I am aim towards my uniqueness, on not moving, on conserving my roots. I am a complex artist”
