Caterina Morigi (Ravenna, 1991) lives and works in Bologna. She studied Visual Arts at IUAV in Venezia and Arts Plastiques at Paris 8 \u2013 Saint Denis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morigi\u2019s artistic research focuses on the variations of matter, by keeping the attention on the less evident aspects of the process, which are often hidden in his core. To approach the substance of things a closer look is needed, one that lingers on the effect of time on shapes, both on the surface and in depth. In her installations of sculptures and images, the artist reflects the visual analogies identified among the natural, human and mineral dimensions. Morigi uses these similarities and these subterranean intersections activated\u2014as if they were karst springs\u2014between art history and contemporaneity to describe the relationship between the human world and nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morigi\u2019s works are on display at the Museo Nazionale della Montagna in Turin within the exhibition Ecophilia, <\/em>curated by Andrea Lerda; at Museo MamBO in Bologna for That\u2019s IT \u2013 Sull’ultima generazione di artisti in Italia e a un metro e ottanta dal confine, <\/em>curated by Lorenzo Balbi; at Villa Della Regina\u2013Polo Museale del Piemonte and Mucho Mas!

Work on display<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Trama<\/em><\/strong>, Venezia 2013
Inkjet print, two elements: 10×15 cm and 100×150 cm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All things have a protective surface. Even people have a casing\u2014skin\u2014over which prints are registered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human skin is a tangible stratification of signs that becomes a more and more complex image over time. In Trama <\/em>(weave), Caterina Morigi acts by highlighting the imperfections present on the human surface, such as scars, spots, and moles. The two photographs are printed in different formats and shown side by side. The more detailed image comes in a small format while the blurred one is bigger: as with an impressionist artwork, one needs to observe the latter from a distance, while a closer look is required to appreciate the macro photograph.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
