THERE ARE MORE THINGS
Solo show curated by Ilaria Leonetti
Sottofondo Studio, Arezzo (IT)
April 30 – May 21, 2022
PH: Andrea Severi
Roberto Casti’s exhibition is a project that combines site-specific artworks, dedicated to Sottofondo studio, and new productions. The works on display are suggestions that lead us to look at the other, what is outside us, at the “here and now”: disturbing elements such as dust, debris and stains on the floor are essential parts of works that – for the artist – become devices of awareness.

Plexiglass, various debris, steel, concrete
The main room of Sottofondo is inhabited by a scale reproduction of the exhibition space itself, highlighting what is normally sought to hide and altering the scale of spatial values to we are used to. In fact, inside the model, local waste – such as dust, rubble and other debris – has been carefully preserved.
Tomorrow is the opposite of yesterday, but what is today?

HD Video, audio, print on paper
In the last room of Sottofondo Studio, there is a video installation accompanied by a manifesto. This work is made of different videos belonging to friends and people with whom I have a close relationship. This work brings together moments from the past in which all these people felt really present, in which they went beyond their own individuality.
