Daniele Puppi | Fatica n. 16



FATICA N.16 is a huge site-specific project of Daniele Puppi one of the most important young italian artist. Daniele Puppi worked for sixteen consecutive days inside Hangar Bicocca, during which he investigated the tensions and unexpressed possibilities in its inherent industrial character. The artist explored the reactions of the space-specifically of its lines, surfaces and volumes-to the questions that he himself poses through a series of gestures and repetitive actions. This challenge terminates in the identification of a single, precise and specific gesture - or "Fatica" - that, when projected inside the Hangar Bicocca, creates a moving image, which is the synthesis of all other possible images and actions. Such a gesture is capable of expanding indefinitely the field of perception of the visitor. The genesis of the work takes place in that precise place.The exhibition is curated by Federica Schiavo.
