During his residency at SOLARIS Francesco Gennari focused on one of
his ongoing drawing projects based on habits of repetitive daily exercises
from his everyday life.
"I am interested in the idea of constructing a great metaphysical
landscape of which I am the centre and creator at the same time, it
is a varied landscape, it is an ambiguous landscape because it is
harmonious and at the same time full of contradictions. The Earth
revolves around itself, the Earth revolves around the Sun, entropy
generates irreversible disorder, beetles fly, gin evaporates, mint
syrup solidifies, life and death mark the times of becoming and I
am always there to observe the world moving, matter
transforming and my feelings changing continuously... The whole
universe is material at my disposal. I think of an ideal system
made up of many elements, I think of a set of works that arise
from habits or things from my everyday life, such as my loden or
my Clark's shoes, allowing me to represent what universally
happens to each person, in short, starting from the relative to
reach the absolute.”
- Francesco Gennari
