MORTALES SESE LAUDARI EXOPTANT

•

The artwork shows my personal concept of self-promotion, that is expressed mostly in a reflection on my role as a professional today and later also logically about a much more intimate and personal dimension. How can I talk about myself? Referring to my work, how I relate to the world around me, how I find myself regularly analyzing, through cataloging and displaying data, and talking always of information and structures that relate to the outside world, to the phenomenon on its own rather than of me. It stands as a self-awareness hater than a critique. All this is objective in the artwork, which is made up of many of my works, deliberately small and detached in the background as if they were unreadable (readability is one of the fundamental aspects of the works that usually produce), which are topped by a quote Augustine whom talking about Ennio stated "Mortales sese laudari exoptant" or "Mortals like to be praised," which emphasizes an almost narcissistic aspect incited in the self-promotion, while talking about oneself. This sentence is proposed again with a different, tinier, typeface that emphasizes the mechanical and the cumbersome nature of their world of design and visual communication. Just below it is shown a personal phrase, whose quote is deliberately placed beside that of Augustine to mark the issueI mentioned earlier, "In a world where you always talk about the others, the risk is not to talk about yourself" . This aspect, which also refers to the concept of supersaturation of information to which we are daily submitted, also wants to act as an awareness, and why not, almost as a melancholic reflection.
