Roberto Casti
Roberto Casti was born in 1992, Iglesias. He lives and works between Milan and his hometown Iglesias in Sardinia. In 2015 he graduated in painting at the Academy of Fine Arts of Brera. In 2017 he finished the M.F.A. in Visual Cultures in the same institute. His artistic research doesn’t exclude any kind of language. Indeed his works are often combinations of different media (video, performance, painting, drawing, installation, music production) used to pursue a macrocosm in which the inhabitants claim their own solitude and mysteriousness as well as their potential strength of cohesion with the surrounding reality. The ongoing project The Boys and Kifer, a fictional band created by the artist, is a way to reflect on the relationship of the individual with the otherness. The band manifests itself to the public thanks to online and performative interventions in which the music language - with all its relational declinations - creates moments of dialogue between artists and thinkers invited to participate to collective performances.
