Amitai Romm was born in Jerusalem in 1985 and currently lives and works in Denmark. His artistic research revolves around hybridization between nature and the artifices of technology, mediated by science. Therefore, being the research strained between plant life and sensors, data collection processes speculate on the perception of this clash-encounter.
\nIn his first exhibition in Florence, held two years ago at the Veda Gallery, Romm installed a small suction pump, connected to a PVC foil placed at the center of the gallery, on display, facing the street. The vacuum between the two surfaces held still, hanging in the air, an etrog (citron) grew with Mehadrin Kashrut process and brought in directly from Calabria, inside a wrapping without space nor air. In that intersection, resembling a hospital device, components were subject to a tension: what is shown meets the eye.
\nIn the new ongoing exhibition titled Graft<\/a>, in the wide space of the Veda gallery until March 25th, that has since moved from the old town to the citadel of culture to the former Manifattura Tabacchi, Ami installs, hangs on the walls of the room suggestive works that challenge the public to interpret it in their own way. But the organic component doesn\u2019t disappear, and it is instead present in the exhibition through the “technological suggestion” of a spinal column that can be found in the three works on display.
\nThe anthropomorphic reference is also evident in the two added side lobes, which are at the same time reminiscent of a satellite dish able to pick up return waves. Up close one can discover the matrix of the “shield” \u2013 made of a mesh, a 3D-printed cage \u2013 which contains a vegetable substratum of the forest meticulously collected by the artist, squeezed into that mesh.
\nTechnology and nature again complete each other by acquiring the same features of what in another work \u2013 with the same shape but made of copper sheet \u2013 is polished as if it were a precious piece of jewelry.
\nIn Florence, the city that hosts the Chimera of Arezzo, Amitai Romm\u2019s three chimeras gain in suggestion for their unfailing connection to the fantastic that can\u2019t be trivially confined to the illusory. In the exhibition the three sculptures are accompanied by some small works on paper, created through the medium of photography, put there to be meditated upon, one by one, closely. Beside their own value, as a whole they serve as a “pause”, as a moment of introversion of thoughts. <\/p>\n
