Back to exhibit at the Galleria Cesare Manzo LUCA VITONE of recently engaged in Rome in the collective space. From the collections MAXXI MAXXI art and architecture, the first construction of thematic collections of art and architecture of the national museum MAXXI.
The artist followed in research on the idea of \u200b\u200bplace and mode of representation and perception of the same, picking up his personal investigation into the monochrome began in 1988 with the work inform the Invisible Visible . The attempt at a reconstruction and a recognition of the "topos of origin" means a form exact science, it performs once again resorting to military maps. In the gallery a series of maps made up of the IGM in diptychs, triptychs and individuals and representing the islands of Favignana, Lipari, Lampedusa, Ustica, Pantelleria, Ventotene, Ponza archipelago Tremiti reconstruct the genesis of the Italian border in the 30s during the fascist period. In exile, house arrest interment heir of the late nineteenth century, were forced on small tracts of land in the sea, the non-aligned "ordinary scheme", by the greatest actors of the twentieth century ethnic minorities. Vitone reflects particularly on a historical element closely related to semantics and due to the overlap of "confinement" and "internment camp". Indistinct from the use of two terms, often used as synonyms, derived the mistake of regarding the internment as a "holiday", a clever move by the propaganda purposes through which the regime classified as "humanitarian aid" to confinement, considered as a possibility of redemption offered to dissidents .
the center of the space opera yet it moves is the formal pretext for further analysis of another phenomenon, implicit in the attempt to re-define the concept of homeland and cultural identity, memory: that of nomadism. Bonnet looks at the cultures of minority identity by retrieving the symbol of Roma communities - the wagon wheel - transfigured into a vessel which looked like corrugated a nineteenth-colored flag anarchist movement. The artist denies and void, therefore, the location of the flag of nationalism understood as a symbol of the territorial demarcation to give rise to a new geography far from unusual ideas unilateral, one-dimensional and stereotyped.
