Donato Sansone Retrospective at Palazzo Monte di Pietà, Forlì

A retrospective of experimental animator Donato Sansone opens November 18, 2018 at Sala Melozzo in Forlì, as a collateral event of the exhibition 'Costruttori di sogni. Viaggio nel cinema animato' curated by ArtealMonte. The main exhibition, inaugurated November 10 at Palazzo Monte di Pietà, focuses on Christoph Brehme, Magda Guidi, and Silvia Selvi. Sansone, born in Bella (Potenza) in 1974, studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Napoli and the Centro Sperimentale di Animazione di Torino. His distinctive style blends stop motion, 3D graphics, and digital manipulation, exploring subconscious themes and bodily obsessions with grotesque, sexually ambiguous characters. He has collaborated with bands Afterhours, Subsonica, and Verdena, and received recognition from Le Cinémathèque québécoise, Annecy International Animated Film Festival, and Saatchi & Saatchi. His viral video 'Ghostcrash' features surreal car collisions with supernatural entities. The retrospective, curated by Alessio Galbiati, runs through December 8, 2018.
