DIEGO ESPOSITO, IL LUOGO INVISIBILE

Villa Ca' Amata, Riese Pio X (TV), May 11 2024

For decades now, Diego Esposito has been working on a few essential concepts that relate the action and even just the presence of the human being with the world and the universe. Being in the world means feeling part of the incorporeal relationships that, like an invisible net, envelop us in every place we find ourselves in. The artist, like a seer, perceives this flow and takes on the task of revealing the infinite plot in which we are involved most of the time without becoming aware of it. For this reason, the concepts of “place” and “relationship” are fundamental in his research which, in an eccentric way with respect to the usual and stereotyped connections, aims to highlight some of them, the human being being finite with respect to the infinity of possible plots. This action thus reveals a different world, whose interface is usually not visible (because it is perhaps physically thousands of kilometers away), but we know that it exists, because the artist-traveler guarantees it: starting from a “place” that means something to him, he builds a “physical” relationship, as well as ideal, with another equally significant place, and the work is the testimony of this.
Thus, also in this exhibition in the “enlightened” spaces of Ca’ Amata, relationships and triangulations are established in space and time, through the display of 17 important works by the artist, which are renewed each time by the fact of being in different, but conceptually always very significant, places in the world.
Esposito’s artistic interest in change and the dimensions that arise from it has grown over the years in parallel with the expansion of individual consciousness and finds all its harmony in the relationship with the eighteenth-century residence with which the works create a dialogue of essential meaning.
