Il dubbio

La citazione è una componente costitutiva della pratica artistica di Vettor Pisani così come la sua vena provocatoria. In quest’occasione l’artista ha estratto da un proprio lavoro sonoro una lunga risata accompagnata da una seducente e misteriosa donna. Il Dubbio sembra voler rendere omaggio al grande amico ed artista Gino de Dominicis.

Born in Ischia, Italy (1934-2011). In 1970 Vettor Pisani moved to Rome, where he exhibited at La Salita gallery  entitled “Male, female and androgynous.

In 1972 he was invited to Documenta 5 in Kassel and exhibited “Lo scorrevole”. In 1976 he exposed at the Venice Biennial  the work Theatrum, a kind of research that influenced all his career.
