Alberto Di Fabio's Sculptures Animated in Poetic Short Film
Alberto Di Fabio (born 1966 in Avezzano) presents a short film titled "The Awakening," directed by Marco Waldis with a subject by Mattia Andres Lombardo, which brings his sculptures to life in a dreamlike journey. The film is screened in his studio alongside an exhibition of the featured sculptures, which also interact with other works by the artist. Critic Sabino Maria Frassà describes Di Fabio's assemblages as a radical primitivism combining Duchamp's ready-made, Picasso's constructivism, and Armitage's existentialism, emphasizing that the artist assembles natural found objects rather than removing material. The event runs until July 15, 2021, at Studio DFB.
