Damiano Bertoli’s practice uses the principles of collage to project an ambiguous sense of time and an ambivalent attitude towards the ultimate functionality of art-making. Certain moments from art history and popular culture are reconstituted and re-aligned in a form of time travel; these works are speculations, and are the result of questioning how artists negotiate the past and future through their work. Bertoli uses utopian strategies, and their subsequent failure, as a kind of metaphorical structure, which corresponds to the idea of the ‘artist in the studio’, and the so-called successes and failures of an artists practice.
