QU.1: Fuzzy (text from exhibition catalog at galleria Minini)

by Luca Cerizza


The undefined space is not an emptiness but a safe container, a flexible shell.
(Hans Ibelings, Supermodernism, Nai Publishers, Rotterdam, 1998)

Deborah Ligorio has always been interested in investigating themes linked to physical, virtual and emotional space, and the possible relationships that can be established among the different planes, through video, photography, Internet projects and the realization of living units planned around individual persons ( the series in progress Custom Habitats).

In Fuzzy, Ligorio presents a series of five computer animations, each lasting one minute. Each confronts a theme linked to urban planning, architecture, inhabitability and socializing, in a synthesis where formal "pop" references to videogames, science-fiction, animated cartoons, computer graphics, video clips, advertising and electronic music emerge and emerge. Fragments of personal memories and scientific analyses meet in a vision that plays on density and lightness, balanced between sociology and intimism: like absolutely contemporary watercolor.
