Luca Staccioli’s multidisciplinary practice is research-based and process-oriented, merging sculptures, photos, videos, sounds, embroideries, drawings, and collages.
Staccioli’s hybrid works investigate the sculptural and pictorial dimension of the everyday, observing how familiar and ubiquitous images, as well as everyday functional objects, are implicated in the entanglement of landscapes, economic efficiency, bodies, and subjectivities — both human and non-human.
In his visual grammar, Staccioli de-functionalizes images, objects, and consumer products, altering their scale, transforming their materials, stratifying and juxtaposing the found objects as matrices to generate new forms and constellations of meanings.
Through processes of conceptual deconstruction and nonlinear re-composition, Staccioli’s artworks explore representations and production of functionality, desire, and consumption, often layering micro-stories, uprooted memories, and childhood fantasies.
This processuality is meant as a political act of re-imagination — vehicle for the decolonization of everyday life.
