Fabrizio Plessi (Reggio Emilia 1940-)
Long-standing friends, Fabrizio and Giuliano’s memoirs recall the purchase of the first work by the young debutant by the collector who would continue to follow the evolution of Plessi’s artistic career, marked by important contributions in the field of video art.
Plessi’s research in the world of technique is at the basis of the invitation that Giuliano Gori, invited by the IDIS Foundation to curate the artistic section of the nascent Città della Scienza in Bagnoli, Naples, extends as early as 1993. From this commission came, two years later, the video sculpture Baroque Cathodic Movements, composed of confessionals, containing screens of ‘fiery’ images, overturned and hung in the large disused spaces of the former steelworks.
