BINARY CODEX by Andrea Anastasio

イタリア人アーティストでデザイナーであるアンドレア・アナスタシオ(Andrea Anastasio)の作品集。2022年2月から4月にインド・ニューデリーのイタリア文化会館で開催された展覧会に伴い刊行された。哲学的なオリエンタリストであり、独学でデザイナー、アーティストとして活躍する作者は、イタリアとインドの間で生涯を過ごしてきた。作者は時間をかけて2つの国から制作方法や文化的レファレンスを取り入れ、しばしばそのマトリックスと言語体系を統合してきた。イタリア人美術史家、キュレーターのドミティラ・ダルディ(Domitilla Dardi)による企画で発表された作者の作品から、デザインとアート、大量生産品と手作り品、産業とアートインスタレーション、イタリアとインドの間など、様々な面で行われる対話で二つの物語を読むことができる。

A philosophical-orientalist, self-taught designer and artist, Andrea Anastasio has spent his life culturally and physically between Italy and India. From the two countries he has taken production methods and assimilated cultural references over time, often integrating their matrices and linguistic codes. His work - reviewed in this book for the exhibition "Binary Codex", curated by Domitilla Dardi and held at the Italian Embassy in New Delhi between February and April 2022 - offers a dual narrative, where the dialogue takes place on multiple levels: between design and art, between mass-produced and handcrafted products, between industry and art installation, between Italy and India.

Andrea Anastasio's poetics, centred on the need to generate multiplicity of meaning and content, is explored in these pages through photographic sections presenting his works - from lamps to ceramics, from installations to vases - and in-depth textual analysis. Conversations with the artist - with Domitilla Dardi and Alessandro Rabottini - alternate with texts by Andrea Branzi, Leonardo Caffo, Emanuele Coccia, Beppe Finessi, Letizia Muratori, Cristina Miglio and Raffaele Torella, who capture different aspects of Anastasio's multifaceted work each time.
