マルゲリータ・マルキオニ

born in Rome, Italy
living and working in Rome, Italy

My work is mainly based in the gap that exist between the use that we make of objects and their time of life. I investigate on the way that the society push us to consume and waste, faster and faster. My personal response of this is a long and patience collection, for years, of everyday objects used by many people. I try to show, with a kind of contemporary feminine work, that things are not useless in the moment that we see them as a spare. They still contain many artistic possibilities , I force that material to became a symbol of tension and irony and to insinuate moral doubt in the consumer, I see my work as a revolution through art to the ordinary vision , something to do with utopia.
