Statement

Andres Gaelano is a multi-discipline artist whose main medium is performance art. In his works, space, audience, objects, actions, time and his body are the elements that consciously create all the work. He freely mixes various means of artistic expression in his performances and uses the power of the moment and the present to evoke actions and situations that give rise to philosophical questions and poetic experiences. His works are usually site-specific and uses the logic of poetry that often leads to humorous and absurd situations. Currently, his artistic research focuses on the myth of flying and the archetypal person-bird.
