Eva Marisaldi Pixeland

dimensione ambiente/dimensions variable

Eva Marisaldi trained at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Bologna. The techniques and genres adopted in her works include words, behavior, action, photographs, drawing, embroidery, videos, computer animation and video games. "Pixeland" continues Marisaldi’s narratio of human relations conditioned by the modern systems of communication, particularly those computer and digital systems to which the term pixel of the title refers: the “picture element”, that is the smallest element of the image. In the work, pixels take the form of the confetti that cover a sculpture in the shape of a stylized fish. Ninety-six drawings depicting portraits of people inspired by images from magazines are arranged around the sculpture.
