Visual artist, born in Copenhagen DK – lives and works between Pergola and Bologna, Italy
Studied
drawing at The
Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, and
painting at The Studios of Danish artist Karen Højgaard, Copenhagen
(1982 - 1987). Studies
in Oriental philosophy, Università degli Studi, Urbino IT (2006 -
2007).
My
work stems from a need to
investigate how human agency
– which is subject to laws of nature even in our age of mechanization and the technoscientific progress – originates from the
interaction with the existing, and how this mutual influence,
materializing over time, is transliterated through semiosis
into a variety of complex ideological systems, social-cultural dynamics
and architectural structures.
The
research develops mainly through long-term context-specific projects
by the collection of data and 'encoding phenomena' into 'images'
conceived as conceptual charting of the real, and is characterized by
direct action onto spatial
geography by 'measuring' and ‘imprinting’ 'intersected' 'facts’ interpreted
and elaborated through drawing, collage, photography, writing and at
times video.
With
the urge that the outcome ultimately could 'yield' to reality as if
being 'interchangeable'
with it or would ‘leak’ into it…
I
have been realizing projects in Italy and abroad,
including Romania, Austria, Denmark, China…
