“Isolandomi, che cosa sono io nell’ombra di questa torre? Sono soltanto l’aria rarefatta di un’oscurità egoista. Deponi la tua ‘corona’, colora l’Arcano XVI (ideato da Arthur Edward Waite e disegnato da Pamela Colman Smith, la seconda edizione del mazzo A è del 1920) e con esso il tuo Tempio interiore.”
Alessandro Simonini’s research spans sculpture, installation, performance, video, and sound, approaching artistic practice with the mindset of a researcher. He is interested in the space where self-awareness and symbolism interact alchemically with the viewer. In 2019, he was artist-in-residence at Viafarini in Milan. He earned a degree in Philosophy from the University of Bologna in 2008, studied acting at the Louis Jouvet Theatre School, and completed an MA in Visual Arts in Bologna in 2012. He lives and works in Milan.
