Luca Vitone
Biography
b. in 1964 in Genova, lives and works in Milano.
His work explores the way places are identified through cultural production: art, cartography, music, cuisine, political associations, ethnic minorities. Vitone bridges the gap between the sense of loss of place characteristic of the postmodern and the ways in which feelings of belonging arise in the intersection of personal and collective memory.
He reconstructs and invents forgotten paths to reconfigurate his own personal geography.
Since 2006 he has been teaching at the Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti in Milan.
He participed in 2013 at the 55th Venice Biennale.
