SOCIAL BOOM

Solo project / Noire Gallery, Turin (IT) / 2020

SOCIAL BOOM tells a story of contemporary communication.
Always interested in the concept of image and the multiple forms it can take, the artist is equally fascinated by the globally recognized public figures, the contents they communicate and the way they choose to communicate them. The exhibition displays few of the seventy-eight works, which quote some of the posts published on Twitter by Kanye West between June 1st and September 27th, 2018. The texts, redrawn on the same days they were published, were chosen to be reproduced thanks to their poetic and communicative impact.

The exhibition is completed by a site-specific work, specifically conceived for the outdoor wall of the gallery. The work, a press review on the wall, is composed of seven tweets that West published, along with others, on his profile in the previous weeks of the execution of the work. The series, made with white spray cans and the typical social network font, takes place on the wall respecting its architectural forms and proportions.
