LibriBianchi:
The philosophy of the works
Real books saved from waste
Lorenzo and Simona use real books saved from the rubble, on which they rage with water, glue and plaster, thus obtaining a new raw material. They then intervene on this with various apparently foreign materials such as barbed wire, glass, stones, woods and white paint.
Every book becomes an archetype
In this way, there is a shift in perception from the semantic dimension to the symbolic dimension: the volume is shaped and translated into an accentuated symbolism that transforms it into sculpture. In the end, covered in white, each book becomes an archetype, a symbol of culture and knowledge and screams in silence to be read otherwise
Artivism
Since 2015, Lorenzo and Simona have expanded their production to large installations and bronze, to bring the book closer to infinite livability. Sensitive to contemporary issues, their research evolves towards social and environmental issues with 'Artivism', also launching projects with great public involvement. Also appreciated by bibliophiles and collectors, LibriBianchi are exhibited in numerous art galleries in Italy and abroad
Lorenzo and Simona
From the meeting in 2006, a deep partnership of life and artistic research was born to develop together the LibriBianchi project and explore art as an expression of life and as Artivism.
