Fabrizio Plessi
is one of the most remarkable and most popular
Italian contemporary artists
, who is foremost known for his
large size, spectacular video installations
. In his artworks
Fabrizio Plessi
merges
modern technology
– moving image and sound – with the
simplest materials
like wood or stone.
In the beginning of his career, at the age of 14, he moved to Venice from Emilia, and – understandably – became
“obsessed” with water
. Later on,
fire (lava)
was also given an important role in his art. His spectacular works, often of
large dimensions
, usually exercise a
deep impact on the audience
, and it is almost impossible to remain unaffected.





This exhibition aims to present
all important aspects of Plessi’s artistic world
in order to give the Hungarian public a
comprehensive view of his life and works
on display in Hungary first time ever. A
special feature
of the exhibition is going to be an installation titled
Liquid Labyrinth
, that has
never been exhibited anywhere else before
.





Another artwork
Llaüt Light
calls our attention to a
current social problem
: on
Mallorca
, which is the artist’s second home,
old fishing boats were destroyed for reasons of environment protection
. The conflict between
sustainable development
and
tradition
is actually present in all domains of human life. Plessi’s work facilitates
collective thinking
and discussion on issues of nature and society and helps to find adequate solutions.
