Guidi Matteo
Matteo Guidi's practice sits at the intersection of contemporary art and social anthropology, and whose central theme reflects on material culture. Taking as his starting point the observation of different social groups or people, he analyses the way they relate to their everyday objects, focusing on possible new uses and assigning them new symbologies. His projects comprise different disciplines such as photography, drawing, video or installation.
