LA CHIGI

Lives and works in Italy

Artist statement

I distill human relations and display them in tiny, ironic, purified installations and assemblages. I use materials borrowed from reality, making an ironic and playful difference from their traditional use. I am currently exploring the theme of the home, a physical place and a space of the soul, with ready-made installations and objects. Food containers, specifically fish cans, have become homes for miniature people who are thus able to tell, with out-of-scale objects and through metaphorical symbolization, the dreams, desires, expectations - and problems - of all humanity.
