BÁO CHÍ & XUẤT BẢN
Alice Cattaneo was born in Milan, Italy, where she continues to live and work. Cattaneo creates sculptures and animated videos using commonplace materials such as wood, cardboard, felt and masking tape. Within her works, everyday objects take on a life of their own, often acquiring anthropomorphic qualities. At once ephemeral and playful, Cattaneo’s installations seem like opportunistic entities, growing out of any available surface – floor, wall and ceiling alike – as if living microcosms springing forth against all odds from the most unlikely places. Her work’s organic quality shifts the significance of her DIY approach away from its usual pragmatic functionality. While precarious and poetic, Cattaneo’s delicate constructions appear as both unruly self-generated growths and didactic science models.
