Eugenio Tibaldi

Eugenio Tibaldi's work focuses on the dynamics of peripheral and border areas, on the outskirts of formal centers and historical urban cores. For years, his research has explored "hyper-places," environments that transcend aesthetic constraints and impositions, capable of generating their own social and economic dynamics. These are physical and mental spaces, expanded at the urban and territorial scale, or compressed down to the domestic space.
"Habitat #1" is an installation that delves into the human need to give meaning to one's ambitions and aspirations through the construction of a domestic space, where its elements serve as metaphors for memories, fears, and hopes. The aesthetic outcome of this process is an intricate and complex journey, where visitors can lose themselves in thoughts and reflections, recognizing fragments and wounds from their own lives in the details. At the heart of the installation lies a record player, playing the contemporary tragedy "Romeno è Giulietta," written by the artist himself.
The photographs were taken at different moments and places: in Turin, inside Eugenio's studio, and in Rome, during the setup of the artwork at the Galleria Nazione d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea.
