Sea Bones is an artistic research project that investigates the possibilities of matter through the contemporary gaze and the encounter with the scientific field.
The project aims to highlight the relationship between the micro and macro of things through sculpture and photography.
This research has the ultimate goal of merging the various layers of reality into a possible new alliance, assimilating the belonging of human and natural to a single world of relationships.
Caterina Morigi (Ravenna, 1991) lives and works in Bologna. She studies Visual Arts at IUAV University of Venice and Arts Plastiques at Paris 8 – Saint Denis. In her practice she records the variations of matter, keeping attention to its less evident aspects, often hidden in its core. In order to deal with the substance of things, she uses a closer gaze, which unfolds in the observing the effect that time has on forms, on the surface and in depth, making sure that the work is always dependent on its physical transformations and connected to the surrounding space, from which it comes, in a sensory and meaningful way.
Installations, sculptures and images reflect the visual rhymes identified between the human and the natural spheres, triggering karst flows between art history and technology.
Caterina Morigi’s research involves collaborations with universities, archives, researchers and rare manufactures.
For solo and group shows she has exhibited in different institutions including Museo MAMbo (Bologna), Palazzo Reale (Milan), Art Rotterdam (NL), Museo Nazionale della Montagna (Turin), Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Stoccolma (SV), Fotografia Europea (Reggio Emilia), Villa Della Regina – Polo Museale del Piemonte (Turin), Fondazione Bevilacqua la Masa (Venice), BACO – Base Arte Contemporanea Odierna (Bergamo), Kunstlerbund Speyer (GR), Fondazione Archivio Casa Morra (Naples), MAR Museo d’arte della città di Ravenna (Ravenna), Video Sound Art Festival (Milan).
