Fernando Pezzino explores how we construct identity and meaning as we navigate the overlapping landscapes of the physical and virtual worlds. Through fragmentation, layering, repetition and abstraction, he transforms familiar images, language, numbers, codes and everyday materials into complex fields of connection and disruption.
“Diagnósticos” presents a selection of works developed over the past five years, tracing Pezzino’s ongoing exploration of identity, technology and the shifting relationship between both worlds’ experience. In this body of work, technology and information shape how we perceive ourselves and one another, while familiar forms become fragmented, layered and reconfigured, suggesting identities and realities that are continually constructed, mediated and transformed. In his work, Pezzino highlights the tensions between connection and separation, presence and absence, and the individual and the collective, while reflecting on our changing relationship to the world around us.
Through scale, color, light, texture and mark-making, Pezzino transforms the image into a physical and psychological encounter with the viewer. The viewer becomes part of this process, navigating between recognition and uncertainty and assembling connections among the fragments. His work invites the viewer to reflect on the shifting boundaries between the real and the constructed, the individual and the collective, and the physical and virtual worlds we inhabit.
