Interview with Carla Mattii

Last summer, I made this wonderful interview with Carla Matthias, the conclusion of his personal at Marconi Gallery. The text of the exhibition was written by Pierre Peri. The works presented are a step in the interesting path of the young artist.
Cosy, self-possessed and intelligent, Carla Matt has answered fully and ironically questions that I did, revealing an artist and a person worth knowing.

Your artistic journey began with the human figure, and then move on botanical elements such as flowers, how did this step?

This transition occurred gradually.
For a long time I worked on the human figure, the perceptual ambiguity about the body.
as the image of the face or body can become a double of himself, transforming it into other forms and indefinite, so the flower, while also changing the structure and form, is still a flower. Fiction and reality, nature and artifice, and now, lately, a 'natural hybridization between the virtual and virtual or better come true.

Your works testify complex assembly work that appears around the flowers, breaks them down into various parts and reassembled into new beautiful flowers, but have no equal in nature, you believe that one day we can see these flowers from the florist, the cemetery or on the stage of Sanremo ?

Definitely. I try to find a new dimension, also a symbolic activity that always deals with man and is coming to outcomes rather extreme: changing the nature.
We'll see new floral species, hybrids and crossings that will give rise to plants with different shapes and colors. But I think there will be several new species not only formally but are genetically recombined. After all, it must meet the needs of production, it is necessary to have food with increased nutritional value
TiVo ... . is essential to become supermen.
I'd be curious to hear the songs the Sanremo festival will take place when all this ....

The intersection between species has always existed in nature, you select the most productive and meet together, only now the man, thanks genetics, can act in a radical and aggressive on their determination, do not you think that your work is somehow also try to show us the monstrous ta, subtle but fascinating, this fact?

But of course ... the work highlights the a monstrosity of human intervention on nature. Do not forget that a form of beauty is inherent in the monstrosity. Performing in my work a form of control over nature but also cruelty, the cruelty that is inherent in nature itself.
When I reproduce in my work, technologically, exactly, all the veins and the veins of a leaf, in a sense, to imitate nature.
But then it becomes something different from what we knew.
not "fake flowers", and not "real flowers" but a form
who wants to be symbolic of a profound alteration of a natural balance, given how not artificially modified.
No more imitation of nature but the depiction of a different nature or rather of a "second nature" that takes shape in a place of silence, not a place which is completely other than where we met until now.

Delicate, fascinating and scary ... thinking about your work immediately come to mind such adjectives. How and where it come uoi new projects?

mutant Although in their essence, I would like the new hybrids were the subject of contemplation and why not, unsettling aesthetic pleasure, and that the ideology inherent in the way I work was in perfect harmony with the shape.
I act with "sadistic the nail of my thumb green", I quote a happy and ironic expression of a text written about me long ago ...

My new projects are created by a speech on the form but also on the internal geometry of nature. The geometry of the machine becomes part of natural forms. The natural elements which become icy and evoke other numerical definitions and assumptions of "nature". A "taxonomy that multiplies the species

This was your third solo show at the Galleria Marconi, one of six art history proposed by Franco, despite his young age, as we have developed this relationship?

Franco was the first to believe in my lav gold. The first one was in his gallery ... then as it is in the best families, or between "laziness" the relationship of mutual respect continues.

How do you feel when you find yourself naked?

Naked as a worm.

Want to know how I feel trovandomici?

silly Dario! Perhaps since the hot and sweaty.
