Marco De Santi's Objects-Installations Explore Precarious Emotions at Amy-d Arte Spazio

exhibition · 2026-05-04

Marco De Santi (Varese, 1983) presents a solo exhibition at Amy-d Arte Spazio in Milan, featuring object-installations that visualize the precariousness of collective emotions in a society transitioning away from widespread well-being. Architect Michele De Lucchi notes that De Santi's works reflect a design attitude and translate the ideological state of our historical moment into forms and emotions. Curator Francesca Balena Arista compares the artist's process to composing flowers in a precious Japanese ikebana, highlighting a calm, vaguely obsessive creative process that always reveals a light, even if just a subtle irony. The exhibition runs in March 2019.
