Luca Serasini (1971)
He began his activity with oil painting in 1996 and since 2003 he has been exploring various other techniques, from photography to video and video installations up to land art, and thanks to his studies in electronics, to create interactive devices that allow an active involvement of visitors in his installations, both indoor and outdoor. In 2023 he began working with stone, copper and wood.
A great lover of mythology and astronomy, he applies these passions in interactive land art installations for the Progetto Costellazioni (Constellations Project, 2013), which starts from the question of whether we still really need the stars today, a world made up of legends now far removed from our daily lives.
Surreal, on the other hand, is the cycle of Nuvole e Sedie (Clouds and Chairs, 2020), mainly graphic works of literary (Aristophanes, Bulgakov) and theatrical (Ionesco) inspiration.
The latest cycle he has begun working on is the sculptures for the Marconisti (2023), a project that aims to highlight the spirit of research that guided Marconi's discoveries by creating immersive experiences on the theme of radio and telecommunications and, through the symbolism of the staircase and stone, a spiritual vision linked to some themes dear to monotheistic religions.
In all three cycles/projects there is, as the lowest common denominator, an upward vision, towards the immense that is above and beyond the human being, but which helps to complete it, giving it meaning.
