Lorenzo Vitturi's Droste Effect at Viasaterna, Milan

Lorenzo Vitturi (Venice, 1980; lives in London) presents 'Droste Effect, Debris and Other Problems' at Viasaterna in Milan, curated by Fantom, until May 20, 2016. Vitturi's works function like Russian dolls, containing layers of themselves and fragments of London's Dalston neighborhood, which was the subject of his earlier series 'Dalston Anatomy.' The artist constructs ephemeral sculptural assemblages from urban debris, photographing them, then re-photographing the prints in new settings—a potentially infinite process. The works capture the gentrification of Dalston, a multicultural area of London, through accumulation and superimposition. The exhibition title references the Droste effect, a recursive visual phenomenon. Viasaterna is located at Via Giacomo Leopardi 32, Milan.
