Luca Resta - ABOUT

Luca Resta (born in 1982 in Seriate, Italy) lives in Paris. Graduated from the School of Fine Arts in Bergamo (2008), and awarded the Prix Carré sur Seine (Paris, 2022), his work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions by international institutions such as OTO Sound Museum (Zurich), Venice Biennale, Triennale Design Museum (Milan), Palais de Tokyo (Paris), MACRO (Rome), MUCEM (Marseille).
His studio is located at Poush - Manifesto incubator.

Luca Resta’s work stems from objects. The artist explores the social and cultural space he inhabits to refine a creative process linked to the practices of accumulation, reproduction, and transformation.
Like a sort of contemporary archaeology, he explores the vertigo of the series through endless collections of everyday forms: disposable cutlery, plastic packaging, hybrid objects, cardboard boxes, and even more ephemeral elements.

He investigates the narrative potential of these elements that gradually end up finding their place in his visual imaginary through an expanded idea of the sculptural practice.
His artistic vocabulary—series and homologation, replication and standardisation, industrial accumulation, mechanical iteration …—enters into dialogue with his devices and his manual ability.

From his visual experiences, multiple sculptural, sound, or architectural projects arise, thanks to which Luca Resta goes beyond the mere objects to explore the related and representative sociocultural logic, as well as to propose other ways of meeting between individuals and forms.
Eventually, the aesthetic power of his artistic approach, transform everyday objects into the experience of the “almost invisible”.
