UCCI UCCI
The artistic research of the UCCI UCCI duo (Salvatore Crucitti and Gloria Zeppilli) combines anthropological, ethnographic, and archival studies and practices.
Through a relational practice and the activation of anthropic landscapes, aesthetics and ethnographic research enter into dialogue, with the aim of evoking unexpected theoretical and aesthetic short circuits that emerge from artistic practice. The works arise from immersion in a specific territory, which is activated in its anthropological and environmental sense. Languages, stories, traditions, rituals, and landscapes of communities constitute the stratification of works conceived as “hypertextual objects”.
