Materia organica : usi e rappresentazioni nell'arte

Edited Book
Publication Date:
2025
abstract:
La raccolta di saggi esplora il ruolo del corpo umano e delle sue sostanze nella lunga durata della cultura visiva occidentale. Dal Medioevo, con il culto delle reliquie e il contrasto tra materia e spirito, fino alle pratiche artistiche contemporanee, la materia organica emerge come luogo di tensione simbolica ed estetica. Sangue, ossa, pelle e fluidi attraversano ambiti sacri, scientifici e immaginari perturbanti, diventando strumenti concettuali e performativi, ridefinendo i confini dell’opera e dell’autorialità.---
The collection of esseys explores the role of the human body and its substances across the longue durée of Western visual culture. From the Middle Ages, with the cult of relics and the tension between matter and spirit, to contemporary artistic practices, organic matter emerges as a site of symbolic and aesthetic conflict. Blood, bones, skin, and bodily fluids traverse sacred and scientific domains as well as unsettling imaginaries, becoming conceptual and performative tools that redefine the boundaries of the artwork and of authorship.
