Cléo Totti (BE) - Phantoms & Emotional Ornaments
“In a world made up of objects where everything tries to become commodities-the body, emotions, illnesses, art-I work from the living. Through my work, I seek to propose a view of the world in its hyper-connectedness, to underline our link with nature (biological, physiological and physical), and to explore the sensations linked to human existence in a context where technologies are advancing faster than we are, making it complex to understand the world around us.
I see sculpture and installation as a vehicle for culture and learning, allowing time for contemplation and detailed study of a subject. By taking inspiration from industrial objects and rendering them abstract, I question the rapidity of the world around us and the notion of the vestige, creating artifacts that reveal a form of contemporary archaeology” (...) - Cléo Totti
