Marta Longa
(Erba, 1995).
She graduated in sculpture at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera and is now attending the two-year specialist course. Her works stage the post-modern “aporia” through a play of metaphors, paradoxes and references from sociology to philosophy, developing her artistic research around the human’s existence in the contemporary world.
Panta rei os potamòs
We live searching perfect form, we build new places in which we can conquer it. Everything looks like the rediscovered Atlantis but, unable to force us into one form, we end up living in the paradox where everything is valid but nothing is certain: our truth lies in the possible and in the dialogue between its varieties. The desire that defines us as being and action is what take us away from boredom and contemplation; indispensable as the water for the seed pushes us to exist, digs within our constructions vanishing and overcoming them from time to time. That’s how everything flows, everything multiplies because of our thirst for answers. Water, like desire, permeates us and everywhere, makes us alive, moving and never resolved, empty.
