About
Luigi Di Fabio (b. 1998, Termoli, Italy) lives and works in Milan.
His artistic research explores the concept of weightlessness as a possibility for overcoming the inherent limits of the human condition. Through a language that moves between painting, photography, and video, Di Fabio constructs an imaginary suspended between concreteness and the desire for levitation, in which the body becomes a symbol of fragility and transcendence. In his works, floating bodies, balloons and emblematic elements intertwine in compositions that evoke the tension between gravity and suspension, between physical presence and the aspiration to endure beyond the body’s limits. The void implied by his raw canvases —a recurring element— operates as a threshold that heightens the perception of precariousness and existential instability, while his photographic self-portraits and video performances serve as a point of departure for reflecting on the body as a site of active experience, engaged in a continuous process of negotiating and surpassing its own limits.
