My approach to the proposal of COEXIST emerges from the obsessive idea I had in these unsettling times: the key element in survival and growth, evolution, is taking care of your ecosystem. Be it the family core, friends or colleagues, the attitude and behavior must be directed in the same way to those who are strangers to you. In this way, the annotations and the images are part of the visual material I registered during isolation and short walks outside the house, destined to take care of close ones.

untitled (intention) is a immediate and yet generally valid comment on the global state of society and planet. The work does not prescribe a particular reading, but symbolises aspects of fragility, vulnerability and the power of active intervention.

destruction or liberation?
And who actually throws the first stone?

I wanted to create something organic using shapes, which overlap and blend into each-other, hinting at coexistence. The solid shapes and thin lines suggest movement and growth but also fragility.

With this work I have tried to clarify the meaning of the term “coexistence”. A core statement of this word for me is clearly the coexistence of different individuals, who are able, despite their different origins, their appearance or their opinion, to get involved with the unfamiliar and leave behind outdated ways of thinking and behaviour.

These are four images, that provide simple awareness about the fragility of our world and the need to take care of it all together.

As Art and culture were highly impacted during the covid-19 crisis, this drawing represents in humoristic way a post covid sculpture/installation/performance (choice is open).

Whether we are not from the same country, or we have not the same voice, today, more than before we need to coexist and be stronger together. In my artwork, the different shapes aim to diversity and the right balance among them is a synonym of coexistence.

a collaborative and experimental space to explore form in analogue/ transfer type techniques and processing technologies

The only way to peaceful coexistence is to look at humanity as one.

together we can create a structure solid as a rock. Nothing can squeeze us and we can resist to the worst things.

avoid obstacles without changing our objectives. this is the only solution to progress and to develop our society.

coexist with the problems means to not to drastically change our habits. It is enough to “deform” them to coexist. Of course this must be made together, it not an individual exercise.

For the construction of growing cities and infrastructure a huge amount of raw materials are needed. In order to meet the demand for raw materials, we have developed various methods for mining and processing them out of the ground.

Coexist means to be in the same point even if on different surfaces. Coexist means giving each system the same chance to build one. To coexist is to see the entire playing surface and to be able to move without limits. Coexist means sharing, cutting a space, living it, building it, protecting it.

This is the representation of the longest co-existence, literally intended, that I have ever had with another human being.

“US” is a poster that shows a chain-like union between two different letters and conveys a message of mutual aid and collaboration that promotes human coexistence.

Learn how to coexist is a long process which takes time and common effort. Someone decides to play a role in this scenario, and someone else prefers to stay outside of the path, but we all determine the outcome.

Amusement Parks in Germany (1984)

The world of images in the media exerts an enormous influence on people through the omnipresence with which they encounter us in everyday life. The myths that are spread by it are mostly just synthetic products that have been tested for their media effectiveness.

The power of this stream of images is so great that it can hardly be seen separately from real life, as it has so occupied our subconscious that it is more existent to us than reality itself.

The photographs from German amusement parks in the year 1984 capture situations of everyday life that illustrate the interweaving of the everyday pictorial symbols of the media with our real life.

The symbol “XOXO” is often used as a sign-off, representing love, affection, or friendship. I arranged the “coexist” in such a way that the “XO” is highlighted while the other letters are literally blurred to represent the blurring of lines existing between us.
