HIDDEN WORKS – to see something today, you have to hide it
Hidden Works are a radical conceptual gesture: works deliberately rendered inaccessible or only alluded to, placing the viewer in a space suspended between trust and frustration. Luca Rossi shifts the centre of gravity of artistic work from the visible to the possible, prompting reflection on the responsibility of the gaze and on the mythology of the work as an object.
Each work is two works (the closed one we see and the hidden one) and only the collector who purchases the work can decide if and when to open it. Today, “hiding” means “protecting” the three-dimensionality and depth of the work, as this is the only way to reactivate anticipation, imagination and surprise, elements that we are losing. Within the works there are extraordinary formal and conceptual acrobatics, as the work could simultaneously belong to all the artists indicated. They are “homemade coffins” that go beyond the postmodern to enter the altermodern, where the focus is on information management; the works display “only names”, only one piece of information.
The works protect the deepest idea of truth, which is constantly manipulated and questioned in politics, in the world and in our private lives.
