CHRISTIAN FOGAROLLI – IL CORPO D’ARIA
2019-06-17Christian Fogarolli’s project Il corpo d’aria is based on these premises and presents some works that investigate the relationship between instrument, body and soul in the spaces of the Alberta Pane Gallery in Paris.
The works attempt to explore some contemporary issues and problems in relation to the body and the mind, which are elements scientifically considered as a simple organic mass that can be modified, cured and redeemed. The research represents an evolutionary phase and is coherent with the artist’s entire path based on a contemporary vision of illness, deviance and treatment approaches.
The project on display leads to a critical view of the body, seen as a simple organism and often reduced to the categories of today’s natural sciences, such as biochemistry and genetics. The installations and the photographic works, which have been specially created, have been conceived starting from these thoughts and in reference to how science, by definition, denies itself as a consequence of the birth of new premises. This implies a constant loss of meanings to the detriment of causes towards a utopian truth.
