Fiorentina De Biasi

“ Born in Italy and made in New York"<br /><br />
informed by academic studies in semiotics with Umberto Eco and the rough subcultures of the street, she finds her inspiration in the dense climate of NYC, Naples and Berlin. Subject of her recent production is the contemporary human condition as it is magnified in the experience of today’s urban space. A space that is fractured along various fault lines which are being mirrored in De Biasi’s approach to the medium of collage. Prints of photographs taken by the artist herself are torn and re-arranged into complex composition only held together by the needles of a stapler. Reminiscent of the well known grid structure but way more unstable, these work do not only illustrate how fragile the web-like structure formally known as society has become. As artwork in their own right they also constitute a precarious beauty mirror of the actual human condition.
