DAVID SCOGNAMIGLIO

My work unfolds through installations and sculptures that aim to generate a dialogue between physicality and evanescence, exploring the subtle relationship between matter and light, the visible and the invisible. I am interested in the interaction between space and viewer, and how the sensory and perceptual transformation of a place can lead to a communion between art and life.

Through industrial and everyday materials, I create poetic constellations that present themselves as both tangible and ephemeral elements, where the essence of matter seems to transcend its own physicality. Light, a fundamental element of my work, not only illuminates but becomes material itself, oscillating between presence and absence, wave and particle.

In a kind of alchemical process, my works unfold at points of suspension where time seems to stretch, and the physical dimension intertwines with the spiritual. I aim to create spaces that, despite their formal simplicity, offer immersive and reflective experiences, places where the ordinary is charged with symbolic tension and where the invisible becomes perceptible, almost incarnate, through silent contemplation.
