Nicola Lorini (b.1990) is an artist based in Milan.
He works across sculpture, installation, writing and sound in an ongoing negotiation between contextual research and subjective trajectories. Often working with narrative charged artefacts and contexts he aims to question paradigms typical of Western culture and the notion of history and time meant as purely linear phenomena. Through practices of excavation (on-field and on-line) he pairs diverse points of inspiration to instigate a dialogue between material production/display and the interpretation and transmission of information and emotions.
