bio
Alessio de Girolamo (b. 1980) focuses his research on illusory aspects linked to the structure of
language and the role of time. His projects usually start from sound as a foundation and evolve into
mixed-media artworks that include a strong visual component.
Through sound installations, the artist expresses the conflictual aspects inherent in the dialogue
between human beings and nature, whereby time emerges as both the central element and the
critical reason of their dialectic dialogue.
Using technologies and computer language, the concept of topos is introduced in a participatory
manner incorporating the historical and traditional features of the space that hosts the installations,
shaping its formal dimension.
