Luca Monterastelli experiments with audio format for Artribune Podcast

Luca Monterastelli, an artist from Emilia-Romagna born in 1983 in Forlimpopoli, is the guest of the Artribune Podcast. In his practice, Monterastelli explores the relationship between matter and action, using industrial materials like cement and iron as symbols of authority in the modern world. For this podcast, he created a new work experimenting with audio format, an unprecedented aspect of his research. He produced a sound environment paired with an automatic English-language playback of a text he wrote for a previous exhibition, "To Build a Fire," which opened at Galleria Lia Rumma in Milan a few years ago. The text discusses parallel realities used as frameworks for his works, described by the artist as "a mechanism entirely similar to realism, where in worlds with real mechanics, foreign elements can be inserted."
