Works by Anna Caruso
The sense of my work is explained through the continuous dialogue that space weaves with memory, in a dimension of quantum indeterminacy.
For me, painting also means reflecting on human identity, and for this reason I use transparencies and superimpositions that are composed on the canvas, creating new perceptive elements that are linked to the liquidity of the Western society in which I live.
It is not the image that is relevant, but rather the feeling of disorientation that refers to a reflection on human identity based on memories, experiences and mnemonic inventions. My painting oscillates, therefore, between figuration and abstraction, in a dimension that ranges from painting to installation. The dialogue with the viewer is an integral part of the work, especially with regard to installations.
In these, a participatory and cognitive effort is required of the public, which is left free to interact with the real space and the constructed space of the work itself. As in cinema the technique of assembling attractions is used, so I work on different levels and superimposed planes, fragmenting and reconstructing, breaking down and separating images to create a reversal of perception and meaning.
Anna Caruso graduated in 2004 in painting, at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bergamo.
