  Francesco Zorzi is an Italian artist based in Amsterdam. His formal research is characterised by an abundance of materials and techniques, informed by his background in applied arts and further conceptualised within art. In an era of increasing interest in digital technologies, FZ diverse application are united by the quest for the qualities of what makes us ‘human’. His contemporary work explore aspects of perception and interpretation of reality, the inner-worlds we inhabit as subjects or a collective, and how we interact with them. FZ develops his visual and sculptural works as tools to interpret and reflect on how we navigate through reality as humans in the present times. His works are influenced directly by his fascinations, jumbling together in a flux of shapes and colours like in a kaleidoscope in perpetual movement. Color and tactility are elements always present in FZ research, as reality happens simultaneously as a duality of lightwaves and matter, fundamentally ambiguous, about interactions between things and how things interact with one another. Oftentimes introducing elements of evolution and reconfiguration in the way his works are put together, he creates a multitude of simultaneous points of view to convey the viewers a sense of active interpretation of what is in front of them, to meditate on the way they create a model of the world, which is different for everyone and in constant transformation. These interpretations can be read as reflections on human condition in the context of contemporary society, as well as his personal interest for scientific knowledge and quantum physics. Looking for new imaginary common grounds, or simply offering the viewer new playgrounds for exploration and wonder.
