SUPERFLUO

Curated Showcase of Selected Artists

Design Direction >>>

A thoughtfully curated exhibition featuring the experimental works of Luca Petti and Marco Siciliano. Exploring perception, identity, and abstraction, their artistic practices engage in a visual dialogue that challenges conventional boundaries. The visual identity and communication design of the exhibition were developed by Rodrigo Aleman, using and reinterpreting the original materials provided by the artists.

LUCA PETTI ||| | | MATERIA ESOTICA

The video uses imagery to tell the story of how the overexploitation of animals and plants has disrupted the delicate balance that governs relationships between species. Materia Esotica depicts a future world where the organic and inorganic merge in order to resist human hegemony.

The video premiered on Artribune Television.

MARCO SICILIANO ||| | | VERGISSMEINNICHT

Marco has collected photos of plasters found in the streets of Milan since 2018. Plasters have the function of protecting us but once dropped, thrown or lost they immediately lose their function, becoming useless or no longer necessary. In city traffic they are not noticed, if not with disgust due to the contact they have had with blood or with dead skin and yet, the close relationship with the depth of the body and its fragility, makes the medical device among the most intimate objects we possess, at least temporarily. To investigate the value of the lost patch, the artist wrote down the geographical coordinates of the place where it has been found.

Human activity, moods and emotions have always been conditioned by stars and constellations.
This is why, in the evolution of medical theories, stars, temperature and environment were an integral part of the process of treatment and prevention. The most famous and long-standing theory holds that each zodiacal constellation affects certain parts of the body and certain organs, causing pain and discomfort. This theory is represented in the image of the Zodiacal Man that, since ancient times, clearly explains the concept of "cosmic sympathy", that is, the individual as a microcosm in which the nature and the entire structure of the universe are reflected. Starting from the new stars created by the recovered plasters, Siciliano carries out a rewriting of the constellations and, thanks to these new coordinates, re-interprets the body to reveal psychosomatic pains searching a long-lasting well-being.
