Paolo Inverni on Truth, Reproduction, and the Politics of Space

In a conversation with Davide Dal Sasso for Artribune, Paolo Inverni, an Italian artist, delves into his artistic approach, emphasizing the concepts of truth, verisimilitude, and the political aspects of spatial arrangement. He examines the boundaries of various languages, asserting that the distinction between truth and falsehood is influenced by the observer's viewpoint. His piece "Feedback #1" (2012), showcased in the group exhibition "Che il vero possa confutare il falso," employs four techniques to demonstrate the challenges of achieving objective reproduction. At Galleria Mario Mazzoli in Berlin, Inverni's solo exhibition featured an installation characterized by empty space and excessive light. His works, including "Ossigeno (voce)" (2015) and "Fremito" (2015), investigate the tension between individual and collective experiences, as well as ambiguous causal relationships, while he prioritizes art that is profound and self-explanatory, distancing himself from Romantic ideals of truth.
