    The “Brooklyn/Bognor” series is semi-autobiographical, exploring the effect of “the city” as a space that highlights the character and identity of its inhabitants. This work, from the perspective of the small coastal town, is a study of the city in reverse. “Brooklyn/Bognor pt.1” explored identity and image. “Brooklyn/Bognor pt.2” questions the perception of the city and its mythical identity; the words of the tour guide overwritten by the experience. “Brooklyn/Bognor pt.3” interacts with the fatuous declarations of the signs of New York.

      Jose Alejandro Restrepo

      Colombia
      Presented by the Bank of the Republic

      The artist José Alejandro Restrepo produced one of the most powerful and moving works of Colombian contemporary art: the installation Musa paradisiaca. He has been interested in the way in which historical narratives are constructed: who makes history, whose service is the narrative, how it is told, and with what images reality is constructed. Most of his works are based on extensive and in-depth documentary research, many of them in historical archives, books, documents, drawings, engravings, and photographs.

      Donato Piccolo

      Italy
      Presented by Hyphen Hub, NY
      Italy Guest Country

      His art investigates various natural and emotional phenomena, often using technology and mechanical tools to create his works. Through an exhaustive study of human cognitive faculties, Piccolo's art analyzes the perceptual aspects of the natural world. His artwork investigates natural, physical, biological and scientific phenomena that are the basis of life, using its emotional aspect as a tool. To induce such a peculiar phenomenon of resonance, most of the artist's works combine two complementary and inseparable aspects: they are at the same time sculptures and machines, shapes and processes. According to Donato Piccolo, this hybrid character constitutes the real nature of "holistic art": an art whose essential function is to explore "the incomprehensible mystery of the visible world."
