TUTTOPLESSI, the exhibition celebrating 60 years of Fabrizio Plessi’s artistic career, took place at the historic Palazzo del Broletto in Como.
The exhibition ran from October 5 to November 17, 2024, offering visitors a fascinating journey through contemporary video art.
Organised by Fondazione Como Arte ETS, in collaboration with the Municipality of Como and Regione Lombardia, the event explored the relationship between technology and nature.
Through immersive video installations, visitors discovered the distinctive artistic vision of Fabrizio Plessi, a pioneer of video art.
Six Portals Representing Six Natural Elements
Curated by Paolo Bolpagni and Giovanni Berera, TUTTOPLESSI featured six technological portals inspired by the elements that have shaped Plessi’s artistic research.
These elements included water, lightning, fire, lava, gold and smoke.
Each portal combined a video system with a reflecting pool, creating a captivating visual experience.
As a result, moving images and reflections interacted to produce an immersive atmosphere.
Moreover, the installations were specifically designed for the medieval hall of Palazzo del Broletto.
The contrast between historic architecture and advanced technology added another dimension to the exhibition.
In this setting, natural elements became powerful visual symbols, bringing Plessi’s artistic language to life.
Fabrizio Plessi: A Pioneer of Video Art
Born in Reggio Emilia in 1940, Fabrizio Plessi is widely recognised as one of the leading innovators in contemporary video art.
Since the 1970s, he has explored the creative potential of television monitors, transforming them into artistic materials.
Over the years, his work has appeared in major national and international exhibitions.
In TUTTOPLESSI, Plessi continued his exploration of the relationship between humanity, nature and technology.
Rather than presenting natural elements in a traditional way, he transformed them through digital images and video installations.
Furthermore, his artworks combined the beauty of nature with the possibilities offered by modern technology.
Through this approach, Plessi encouraged visitors to reflect on the connections between the natural and artificial worlds.
