Simon Perathoner
∗1984, Italy
lives and works in Val Gardena, Italy
His new work for the Biennale Gherdëina, Tautology is a particular kind of portraiture. The artist cuts in the Dolomites’ stone the scientific formula the mountains are designated by, thus overlapping a variety of languages the subject matter has been written by. The visual and the semantic collide, so the material as well as a site-specific aspect of a newly created work, displayed in a picturesque and sublime landscape of the Dolomite’s Sassolungo. Echoing the artistic practice of Arte Povera, or conceptual approach of Josef Kosuth, Perathoner negotiates the meaning and the semantics of the representation through a spatial and temporal vertigo of his work.
