Frictions
Lucila Sancineti

Lucila Sancineti was invited to exhibit her project Friction during the July 2018 ´aceNITE.

Through interdisciplinary techniques, of both painting and textile art, her work focuses on the way art can create an extended perception of every-day objects, landscapes and experiences. While trying to narrate the full experience of perception, she forms a vast and overwhelming archive, made up of fragments; she realizes that the grazes between the fragments shape a cartography that creates a different sensitive experience.

Friction (by Lucila Sancineti)
I think about how much it is possible to stay in friction with matter. The exchange of substances with experience oozes a surface, capable of coating, mutating, sustaining. The sensitive experience expands on an infinite, prolific, organic, smooth surface. Like the skin itself, it expands in friction, finding itself in every wrinkle, in every lump. Like the skin itself, it suffers in contact, it deforms, it tears.

I investigate in this series the identity that is built in contact with the subject; the ability to generate and inhabit the spawn. The intimacy when rubbing the body with the inert, and the mirrors and othernesses that are in a mere surface.
