Engagement Acts
Video, 2019
“Engagement Acts” consists of a series of videos documenting the artist’s actions created in a desolate, barren seascape; a specific alienating atmosphere from control shots, to significant contrasts and to a limited colour spectrum. These are actions in which Morucchio interacts with the elements of this environment: tree trunks, rocks and sand; cathartic actions, liberating vent but also manifestations of an instinctual and primitive expression of creativity/rituality that over the years has characterised some of his installation projects.

Bio
Andrea Morucchio (born 1967 in Venice, IT) began his photographic career in 1989.
Since the end of the ’90s, he has expanded his linguistic research – often based on considerations of a socio-political nature – in various directions, from sculpture to installation, from video to photography, digital art and performance. In his artistic investigation the idea of beauty at a given time and space is prior to anything and bespeaks of his aesthetic concerns.
Morucchio’s most recent interventions, such as the multimedia installation “The Rape of Venice” held at Palazzo Mocenigo in 2015, deepen sensori-emotional values, even those that sometimes we call judgments of sentiment and taste, and are evidence of the artist’s attentive critical reflection on art, culture and the deviancies of our contemporary society.
His works are preserved in the Museo del Vetro / Glass Museum, Murano, in the Museum of Old and New Art, Hobart, Australia and in the Provenance Collection, Tacoma, Usa.
