Rei dei Re, Signore dei Signori, 2026
Censored paintings series
The work is configured as a theological-political reflection in the context of the visual languages of power. By superimposing the language of technocratic power on that of sacred art, the black square, an obfuscation technique adopted in government documents instead of blurring being lighter on a graphic level, becomes a simulacrum and a space of subtraction. Censorship is applied to various representations of Christ that on an iconographic level reflect different political visions, from Fra Angelico's Christus dolens (Cristo come Re dei Re, from which the work takes its title) to the triumphant Christ with the banner of the crusades in his hand in Piero della Francesca's Resurrezione, up to the dead Christ presented as naked life (Agamben, 1995), in which the body is just a corpse, and receives total censorship.
