Salvatore Arancio Brings 'Atlas of Confusion' to Venice Biennale
Salvatore Arancio (Catania, 1974; lives in London) is among the few Italian artists invited to the upcoming Venice Biennale by French curator Christine Macel. In a video produced by the Biennale, Arancio describes his work as an 'atlas of confusion'—a hallucinatory nonsense rich with meaning. His practice spans sculpture, engraving, photography, and video, using reclaimed materials to emphasize the evocative power of images. He sees his seemingly chaotic output as a networked system of direct and cross-references.
