On Tuesday 13 September 2022 the Pastificio Cerere Foundation presents VU - , the solo exhibition of Alessandro Vizzini curated by Sonia D'Alto, open to the public from Wednesday 14 September to Friday 21 October 2022.

Privileging sculpture as a means of representation, Alessandro Vizzini bases his artistic research on the process of observing the landscape and on the reworking of these scenarios by exploring and overturning the drifts of the modernist relationship between the human being and the habitat to which it belongs.

Vizzini's works are united by strongly characterizing formal qualities, in which the object essence of the sculpture is enlivened by the narrative aspect it contains. The temporal effects on the visual matter and the presence of man as a privileged observer of nature are the central elements in the artist's work.

Moving between present, past and future and creating a bridge between projected objects and pre-existing objects, the exhibition, whose title transposes the present forms into letters, proposes a sort of metaphysics of reality, nourished by the material and spiritual fragments of the Mediterranean. Each work represents a specific subject in the landscape, reworked through a psychogeographic approach: a practice in which the effects of the geographical environment act directly on the emotional behavior of individuals. The exhibition itinerary, articulated in "devices for the imagination" welcomes works as ritual finds, which capture the viewer in the relationship between a physical and a psychic dimension. The pareidolic perception - which tends to lead objects or profiles with a random shape to known forms - and the accompaniment that the sculpture offers in the imagination are traces towards the dreamlike and narrative reunion that weave dreams and myths, in the transformation of our knowledge and environment in which we are immersed.
