Profili d’artista

Date:

profili d’artista

Born in the moments of JVT encountering artists Profili d’artista tell a story of interaction, intimacy and individuality. During meetings with contemporary Roman artists in their own studios, the physical outlines of the artists’ bodies were traced and their voices telling a personal story recorded. Intimate exchanges of touch and sound are at the core of these works. The solid silhouettes are cut in the iron typically used for manholes found across the streets of Italy. As the viewer touches the metal of the figure, the voice of the artist is played. Touch becomes the key to unlock. The works capture the essence of the person but it is the viewer’s imagination that fills the space to create a 3D presence of these characters. The work is going on with more artists from many countries and also different artistic disciplines like music and poetry…
