By fetishizing the ordinary, and exploring the emotional investment he attributes to his own objects, Elio Ticca digests his memories by playing with the commonplace, kitsch aesthetics, and everyday objects. Like both an investigator on a forensic scene, and a theatre director designing a performance, the artist inquires his own experiences primarily through painting. The work, both a snapshot of life and a symbolic self- portrait, is then crystallised into a seemingly archaeological ground, where a new light has to be shed on memories and emotions, nostalgia and belonging, suffering and joyfulness, displacement and rootedness.
