PierPaolo koss 1959 Graduated in Fine Art at the Accademia Ligustica di Belle Arti in Genoa (Italy) –Visual Artist and performer since 1978 he operates on different levels of expression (performance,photography,video,installation) without losing the essential unity of the poetic gravity on the relationship between self and other,developed and exposed in his open contradictions between reality and appearance,artifice and nature.He is interested in the metaphor between the “politic body”and the “social body” in the ambiguity of contemporary power.
PierPaolo Koss 1959, formazione Diploma di Laurea all’Accademia Ligustica di Belle Arti Genova , artista visivo e performer dal 1978 realizza performance ed installazioni , uno dei principali temi della sua opera: la metafora tra il corpo politico e il corpo sociale nell’ambiguità del potere contemporaneo.
Opera su diversi piani espressivi (performance, fotografia, video, installazioni,) senza perdere un’essenziale unità poetica che gravita sul rapporto tra il sè e l’altro elaborato e smascherato nelle sue aperte contraddizioni, tra realtà e apparenza, artificio e natura.
