Andrea Bolognino

"My artistic research investigates processes of memory and imagination as material forces that sediment, transform, and reorganize matter over time. I explore forms of representation through different states of matter, treating materials as active agents that retain traces of environmental, symbolic, and cultural stratifications. These layered conditions reveal fragile ecological equilibriums and challenge conventional understandings of landscape as a stable or purely visual entity. Rooted in painting and drawing, my practice expands into sculptural, installative, and video-based forms, where images become spatial and matter behaves as a dynamic process. I am particularly interested in moments of collapse, transformation, and instability, where form remains provisional and open to change. My works function as open systems, hosting fragments of symbolism and scientific observation, and acting as witnesses to irreversible events, sudden ruptures, and the merging of anatomical and geomorphic phenomena. Through these processes, I seek to blur distinctions between body and landscape, organic and inorganic, perception and materiality."
