Maintaining his personal precedent of exercising absolute freedom in working with form and medium, the artist has constructed a non-narrative with this exhibition, gravitating around the concepts of periphery and center as they relate to urban experience and the processes of individual perception. The works presented allude to a multiplicity of points of view as well as a coexistence of multiple centers and horizons of perception.
LUCA PANCRAZZI
Suburbs, building-sites, banks, offices, shopping malls, highways, and
airports; it is these anonymous and standardized places of transit, work and
communication that interest Pancrazzi. For almost fifteen years his work
has been investigating the path of "surmodernity" through various media
including drawing, painting, sculpture, installation, photography, and
video. This body of work has taken form as a kind of archive, vital and
subject to constant update and internal cross-referencing. Pancrazzi's
landscapes are, however, in truth pretexts to the interrogation of the
inscrutable inner landscape, as well as to the processes that connect the
internal and external dimensions. For this reason, the direct observation
of reality and the nearly anthropological field research which lies behind
these works is never objectively expressed or documented. Rather, these are
always mediated and reinterpreted through other media, filtered by memory,
and finally internalized. An acute sensitivity is hence created within the
artist for the viewing, construction, reproduction and transmission of
images, as well as for the perception and definition of space and time in
the contemporary world.
Maintaining his personal precedent of exercising absolute freedom in working
with form and medium, the artist has constructed a non-narrative with this
exhibition, gravitating around the concepts of periphery and center as they
relate to urban experience and the processes of individual perception. The
works presented allude to a multiplicity of points of view as well as a
coexistence of multiple centers and horizons of perception. Pancrazzi
alludes to overcoming urban-centric as well as egocentric vision in order to
accomodate the possibility of achieving a dislocated perspective; of seeing
from outside of ourselves. Berlin is the pretext for this vision as well as
the mechanism by which it is achieved. The connections between the various
elements of this exhibition are not always immediately apparent, but
together they form an open laboratory that examines the dynamic and elusive
identity of the city. The exhibition is conceived as a construction site of
experimentation, which is still to be defined, at the crossroads of multiple
points of view.
