RÄ DI MARTINO

 

Rä di Martino (Roma, 1975) ha studiato al Chelsea College of Art e alla Slade School of Art di Londra, ha poi vissuto a New York, dal 2005 al 2010; attualmente vive e lavora a Torino. Ha esposto in istituzioni quali la Tate Modern a Londra, il MoMA PS1 a New York, Palazzo Grassi a Venezia, GAM e Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo a Torino, MACRO e MAXXI a Roma, Museion a Bolzano, MCA a Chicago, Hangar Bicocca e PAC a Milano. Ha partecipato a festival del cinema internazionali quali Festival del film Locarno, VIPER Basel, Transmediale.04, New York Underground Film Festival, Kasseler Dokfest, Torino Film Festival, e al Festival del Cinema di Venezia vincendo nel 2014 il Premio SIAE, il premio Gillo Pontecorvo e una menzione speciale ai Nastri d’Argento con il film The Show MAS Go On (2014). Il suo primo lungometraggio Controfigura (2017) è stato presentato in anteprima all’ultimo Festival del Cinema di Venezia.

Attraverso un’articolata produzione composta dal lavoro fotografico e video, e con l’ausilio di un sostanzioso apparato letterario e musicale, fatto di citazioni e rimandi colti, di Martino osserva la relazione che la memoria e le dinamiche private e mentali dell’individuo contemporaneo instaurano con la cultura bassa diffusa dai media, come le fictions e lo slogan pubblicitario. Quest’attrazione per le storie intende illustrare il vivere contemporaneo in forma narrativa, tramite il cui processo, l’artista svela i meccanismi del potere manipolatorio del cinema e della televisione sul nostro inconscio e sul nostro modo di interpretare il mondo.
