Fabrizio Plesi: Roma II

Fabrizio Plessi, one of the most influential European video artists, combines a fascination with materiality, stemming from the tradition of Italian Arte Povera, with an interest in video, experimental media, and site-specific installation. All of Plessi's monumental and baroque installations capture forces such as water and fire and juxtapose them with elements of the built environment in an attempt to question our ideas about history, memory, and landscapes both constructed and natural. In Roma II, Plessi explores the viewer's relationship to the natural environment-directly encountered as slate stones and mediated through video monitors displaying running water.
