Word and sign enter Luca Maria Patella’s different layouts (graphics, photography, film and performance), proliferating and disseminating both inside and outside formats. The usual codes of interpretation and models of communication turn out to be inadequate or compromised, likewise for points of perception and the subject’s behaviour. By resorting to psychoanalysis (from Jung to Lacan) and Duchamp’s Infra-slim, what Patella intends to undermine are the structures of location and identification that we use to capture the world, things and ourselves. The aim of dismounting these structures is to open that which is possible, favouring matter which is always mobile, a flux which is never fixed in stereotypes or conventions but is rather ongoing, becoming.
