Clarissa Baldassarri Explores Language Limits Through Art
Born in 1994 in Civitanova Marche, Clarissa Baldassarri employs language in her artistic practice to evoke disorientation, delving into existential themes through video, installation, and performance. Her project 'Nome comune di cosa' utilizes Google Translate to reinterpret object names, emphasizing the constraints of language in today's hyper-communicative society. In November 2022, she produced an 8-meter fresco at Galleria Gian Marco Casini in Livorno, contemplating duration and the fragmentation of time. Since 2018, she has been associated with Gian Marco Casini Gallery and received the Premio Quarelli in 2017. Recent solo exhibitions include 'Alla fine della fiera' (2023) and 'Lo Spazio della durata' (2022). As an emerging artist in Italy, she juggles multiple jobs due to scarce opportunities.
