Alessandro Carboni - Studio


I create artworks by transforming everyday objects into absurd and ridiculous new creatures. It is my way of commenting on the meanings associated with those particular objects and reflecting on the social, political and historical aspects they represent.

The objects that I choose to create my pieces are based on my interest in exploring notions of mass-production, food-consumption and exploitation. A giant chicken soup carton, a can, a TV, a safari hat and a meat mincer, are examples of the objects that I have used.

My artworks use humour and absurdity as a way to start a conversation with the audience. They are open to interpretation in order to open up a debate around environmental, political and social issues.
