Federico Solmi: Escape Into The Metaverse
FedericoSolmi: Escape Into The Metaverse examines the work of Federico Solmi, a leading practitioner in the genre of new media art. Employing video, painting, drawing, sculpture, sound and digital game design, he creates a carnivalesque virtual reality with historical and present-day world leaders - animated by computer script and motion capture performance - in a critique of Western society's obsession with power. As a narrative and figurative artist, Solmi utilises lurid colours and satire to portray a dystopian vision of contemporary society, highlighting the contradictions and fallibilities that characterise our time.
As reconfigured narratives, these social and political commentaries disrupt the mythologies that underpin Inspired by real events and fabricated myths, Solmi explores, re-interprets and concocts celebrated moments in history.
