Emanuele Marcuccio (1987, lives and works in Milan) is an Italian visual artist working with transposition, creative direction, management and collaboration. His most recent work marked by a constant interplay of elements, embodies a sense of perpetual movement that, in some cases, hint at a forthcoming cinematic experience, offering a tantalizing yet ambiguous glimpse. The artist may be seen as either performing, in the sense of delivering a message, or choosing not to do so deliberately. Marcuccio’s work is a form of self-analysis, this exploration ignites and deflates expectations of productivity, commercial application, exposure and realization.

For Paris Internationale 2023, Lodos proudly presents a new body of work by Italian artist Emanuele Marcuccio. The presentation includes a new series of photographic images created in collaboration with the photographer Marc Asekhame. The scenes capture a curious wandering dog in a makeshift set and a close-up detail of a saxophone. These photographs are affixed to a silkscreened background designed by the artist, creating the illusion of a piece of wall being cut and framed. Additionally, two newly crafted pieces of furniture mimic a domestic environment. Their shapes not only suggest a wardrobe and a chest of drawers but also, in some way, evoke the architecture of the building that could house them.
