This title takes you on a lush visual journey through the work of acclaimed contemporary artist and master of the moving image, Federico Solmi. Considered one of today's foremost artists using the moving image, Federico Solmi's work often combines articulate installations comprising different media such as video, drawings, mechanical sculptures and paintings, use of vibrant colours and a satirical aesthetic to portray a dystopian vision of our present day society. Irreverent, surrealistic, and sexually explicit too, the videos and works by Federico Solmi are, as he is, extravagant, rowdy and ironic. They are satires about the evils and the vices that affect contemporary society and mankind. The artist uses images culled from the video game industry, pop culture, and the Internet and collages them with an historical influence to produce highly original artworks about the seemingly disparate subject at hand.
