LUCA VITONE
Stanze
2004—in fieri

On the occasion of Editoriale, Museum for Preventive Imagination presents Stanze (Museo MACRO, Roma), a new monochrome work by Luca Vitone created especially for the MACRO. The work is part of a series of paintings Vitone began working on in the mid-2000s. Only using dust as a pigment, the works in this series are representations of different places, whose identity is evoked in the materiality of the particles present in the environment. For this occasion we publish a selection of images which document the different works of the series, from 2004 to today.

 

With special thanks to Studio Luca Vitone for the collaboration and for authorising the publication of these images.
