NDSM Fuse: 
Selfie van de Ziel #2
Amsterdam Noord



After the success of his last exhibition ‘We Are Multitudes.We Are One.’ at the FZ Atelier in Amsterdam Ijburg (08-30 November) Francesco is happy to invite you to the presentation of a new immersive installation, as a sort of Second Actto the narrative and the topics dealt during his previous show.

This new work titled ‘I Am Multitudes.We Are One.’ and it is part of the group show ‘Selfie van de Ziel #2’ curated by Carlien Oudes & Jolanda Lanslots at  NDSM FUSE — independent, artist-run contemporary art platform in the NDSM Loods in the North of Amsterdam (NDSM-Plein 29, Amsterdam) — in which a selection of artists offer presentations and interventions dedicated to the theme of individuality and the self.
This immersive installation work expands the borders of the artwork to include the viewer within it, offering the public a moment of contemplation embracing the dialogue between Self and Collectivity.

‘I Am Multitudes.We Are One.’ can be considered an expanded self-portrait of the interiority of the artist rather than his exteriority.
It reflects on the dualistic nature of reality, both as 'matter' and 'light', and on perception as consciousness unfolding—an experience at once deeply personal and profoundly collective—and reveals itself through 'color': a unified, boundless, and dynamic field of particles vibrating or frequencies resonating together.
This abstract interplay of color hues, blurs, and reflections—similar to fragments of a constantly shifting kaleidoscope—have no beginning or end and invite the viewer to relate to it, into an experience of contemplation, exploration, and wonder.

The installation is an evolution of MACULA, his long-term artistic research on the relationship between hypovision, altered perception, and visual hallucinations, developed with the contribution of the American Academy in Rome and the Consulate General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Italy.
If MACULA's attempt was to portrait the experiences of the artist's mother affected by Age Macular Degeneration, I Am Multitudes.We Are One. shifts the attention to the qualities that define the 'Self' placing its focus on 'consciousness' and its inscrutable inner-worlds in which individual and collective exchange and mirror each other, a process that is shared by everyone and yet it remains a hyper-personal experience.

Realized in collaboration with the ‘Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Amsterdam ’.
  FRANCESCO ZORZI (Italy) Francesco Zorzi is a multidisciplinary artist based in Amsterdam working with a wide variety of mediums, informed by his background in design, his love for the world of Color and his fascinations into the mechanics of vision, perception and interpretation of reality. His works are united by the quest for the qualities of what makes us ‘human’, reflecting on how we interact with what’s in front of our eyes, how we make sense of it and how we explore the inner-worlds we create with it. His explorations - whether dissecting Colors or Shapes - can be seen as an ongoing study on the structure of their inner components and the interaction between each other. Our human experience is fundamentally intangible, always seen from 'within'. We try to express how we feel to others using codes– like language, like music—to communicate feelings, to overcome the isolation of ourselves. Color is another universal tool. These abstract configurations are like fragments of a kaleidoscope in perpetual movement without a beginning or an end, offering the viewers a moment of reflection, new playgrounds for exploration and wonder. His visually ambiguous wax-crayons works, are an investigation on Color in itself: its visual perception as well as the duality of Color as both lightwave and matter. Each artwork is the result of a complex layering of various wax-crayons sticks of different tones, applied next to and on top of each other, creating an ever evolving, ever pulsating flux of constant dynamic movement. The appearance of their colors and the structure of their wax influence directly the ways they interact and ‘talk’ with each other, mutually attracting or repelling one another. They can create harmony or tension. Sometimes they blend and dance together at different speed, in an homogenous flow or in multiple streams and directions. Sometimes they clash and come into conflict with one another. These brightly-hued abstract artworks are as much about color as they are of about emotions altogether: on one side they explore the phenomenological impact color has on human perception (seen from the point of view of the viewer being in front of the artworks); on the other they interact with the ineffable emotions and sensations guiding the process of mixing the crayons (seen from the point of view of the artist producing the artworks). The colors of each artwork are immersive, physical and tactile, just like the process of its creation: Ethereal and vibrating but also palpable and present at once.
