Luca Vitone
ARTIST
Born in 1964 in Genova, lives and works in Milano.

The artwork of Luca Vitone focuses on the idea of the place, inviting us to recognize something we already know, defying the convention of mutable, faded memory that characterize the present. His work explores the way places are identified through cultural production: art, music, cuisine, political associations, ethnic minorities. Vitone bridges the gap between the sense of loss of place characteristic of the postmodern and the ways in which feelings of belonging arise in the intersection of personal and collective memory. He reconstructs and invents forgotten paths to reconfigurative his own personal geography.
