“Maximum complexity and maximum simplicity correspond” as Piero Chiariello says, for this reason in Pulvis he employs an everyday, anonymous and sometimes insidious element: atmospheric dust. It has existed for millennia, reveals the presence of light, absorbs environmental cues, arranges itself according to precise laws and, at the same time, refers to vagueness and chance. Pulvis is the dust which, undisturbed, has deposited for months on the surface of various materials and returns an imaginary landscape of what happened during our absence and without our action.
Federica Lavarini, curator of the exhibition.
Piero Chiariello was born in 1972 in Torre del Greco (Naples) where he still lives and works. After having studied Architecture at the University “Federico II”, his art research has been articulated through painting, photography, music, video, sculpture and installations. He has exhibited his artworks in various national and international occasions, including MAXXI and MACRO in Rome, the 54° Venice Biennale, the international project of digital art SPAMM and three editions of the New Digital Art Biennale in Brazil.
