ARTISTS
Lorenzo and Simona Perrone are known for their ability to blend unusual materials with strong emotional and conceptual depth. Their work stands out for its exploration of an expressive language that highlights the contrast between physicality and immateriality. By using books, plaster, acrylic paint, and string, they transform everyday objects into works with profound meaning. Their pieces tell stories of memory, absence, and spirituality.
Description
Giorni di guerra is a work deeply rooted in collective memory and shared pain. With their unmistakable LibroBianco poetics, Lorenzo and Simona Perrone give shape to a silent yet powerful denunciation: the deliberate destruction of places of knowledge and culture during armed conflicts. The book, emptied of words but loaded with meaning, becomes a symbol of invisible violence—one that strikes schools, libraries, museums, and the very identity of a people. The materials—plaster, string, neutral pigments—evoke fragility and erasure, but also resilience and remembrance.
