Luca Vitone

Starting from the architecture - both physical and historical - of a place, Vitone analyses a personal dimension built up via a stratification of different languages linked to the identity and roots of the place itself.

Like a curious, indefatigable traveller - whose spirit lies somewhere between anarchy and nomadism - his work explores the many ways in which places build up their identities through culture: art, music, architecture, politics and ethnic minorities.

For the first time ever, this catalogue gathers a rich selection of works created by the artist in a career spanning thirty years, juxtaposed with reviews of the shows wherein these works were originally exhibited, here introduced through essays written by over 70 authors.
