Vittorio Santoro

"It's all in your mind/C'est tout dans ma tête" – this title of a work by Vittorio Santoro could be seen as teh motto of his artistic output at large. His installations make palpable the effects of social parameters on human consciousness and convey the ambivalent perceptions thar characterise our relations with the world. memories, emotions, fear, scepticism and shame. Whereas critical cultural analyses occasionally lead us to believe that only spectacular perfomances and dramatic media appearances can attract public attention and interest these days, Vittorio Santoro convinces us otherwise. Both his person and his work exude aloofness. Abounding in half-articulated meaning, his artistic language leaves a great deal unsaid. The artist often expresses himself merely by means of signs, traces or insinuations. The location for the events depicted is our imagination: ›It's all in your mind‹".
