Tomaso De Luca

Born in Verona, 1988. Lives and works in Rome.

 
My research focuses on the status of objects and the power structures in which they are embedded. Intoxication, illness, error, anomaly, repetition, and multiplication become devices through which an attempt at the de-monumentalization of objects and spaces is revealed. Through the evaporation of the point of view, the aim is to transform desire into a bachelor machine, thereby nullifying the satisfaction — and thus the consumption — of desire itself.
My works are hybrids: objects and spaces of uncertain nature, impossible to define and, in some way, to possess. The use of different languages triggers a choreography of the gaze, forcing the viewer to abandon the perception of the object in itself and enter a constellation of ambiguous planes.
