Loredana Longo

She attended a Language Highschool, she obtained a degree at the Fine Arts Academy. A multitalented artist, she uses various techniques and materials to create her artworks, which are mainly site specific installations, sculptures, performances, photographic and video documentation. Her research can be described in what the artist defines as the "aesthetics of destruction", a set of visions in which she destroys and reconstructs her subjects, creating very suggestive and scenographic works. One of the most interesting artwork is represented by EXPLOSION, in which the artist builds realistic theatrical sets which then destroy through an explosion and then she rebuilds everything, leaving incomplete parts that testify what happened, the whole process is also documented by a video projected next to the explosion scene. The EXPLOSIONS have been presented in various events, theatricals, museums and private galleries. In the FLOOR series, she builds huge concrete floors, working on the theme of depleted concrete, each tile is made of concrete in which materials emerge that metaphorically testify the subject to which the artist is dedicating himself. In her first FLOOR she drowned workers' clothes of three colors, green, white and red, creating a floor / flag that the people has forced to walk on. Her favorite subject remains the fire with which she works every material, whether it is an explosion, as in the latest ceramics or burns as in her VICTORY, that are velvet fabrics in which the artist burns with an electric soldering. The word VICTORY becomes a provocation, the images often represent dramatic situations or situations of social and political interest. In her CARPET, precious oriental carpets, she burns on the mantle the words of Western politicians, creating a sort of collection of precious aphorisms. The ability with which she uses multiple materials and techniques, certainly is the fundamental prerogative of this artist, who likes to work on large dimensions, never neglecting details. Two years ago she has been the protagonist of a workshops, lasted one year, such as Art & Social Change at Gam in Palermo and the Art of Freedom at the Ucciardone Prison in Palermo. For over twenty years she worked on the national territory and abroad.
