STATEMENT
Lucrezia’s practice is like a Möbius strip: all her interests stratify by following a repeating sequence that it’s never exactly the same, there’s always a slight but perceptible difference. In this strip it is possible to pinpoint different themes that are always connected and layered in her works: the archive as a way of creating a relation with the audience, emotions as a revolutionary tool to get out from a performativity logic, being uncomfortable as a moment for paying more attention to what surrounds us, and time that is firmly intertwined in her practice with concepts such as entropy and stratification.
