Association and dissociation of thought and action, as well as contemporary culture distortions, are at the center of Matteo Giordano’s work. Giordano investigates the tensions between the contemporary individual and the consumerist image in the context of the materiality of globalised society. His work focuses on the decline and decay of the culture he observes, in an effort to highlight this decline as a magnificent failure. Giordano is a member of the web collective R-U-In?S, a project initiated in 2009 as a call for collaboration and participation in a new form of critical visual practice, concerned with a set of future-driven, embodied, and often commercial aesthetics.
