SALVO
1947, Leoforte, Italy. Lives and works in Turin

“Reality cannot be reproduced, otherwise you would in reality be
producing another reality, it is fleeting... language tries to do this in some way, but when you describe a sunset with words it is not the same thing as the sunset itself, not even a painting depicting a sunset is the same thing as the sunset itself... there are very few possibilities to represent;
we are convinced that language has the greatest capacity of doing so because there are hundreds of thousands of words in a dictionary.”
— Salvo
