Catalogue Note
"Nelle mie opere cerco di evidenziare, […] un momento di individuazione e sperimentazione delle possibilità di un materiale per un suo strutturarsi in una immagine.
Non si tratta quindi di realizzare un'immagine con un materiale ma di estrarre un'immagine da un materiale."
Non si tratta quindi di realizzare un'immagine con un materiale ma di estrarre un'immagine da un materiale."
Agostino Bonalumi
"In my own work, I try to accentuate, […] the individual content and experimental possibilities of the material towards the actual structure of an image. Therefore, it is not so much an attempt to impose an image on the material, but rather the extraction of the image from the material."
