Title of the work:

“Victims & Martyrs: The Blood Tracks # 3 – Sabra and Shatila, September 1982”

Canvas + Mixed media, 2012

Roberto Alborghetti ‘s LaceR/Actions is a multidisciplinary project and research about the apparent chaos of ripped and decomposed posters and urban/street signs.

Transferred on canvas, reproduced on lithographs or textiles (as pure silk), or scanned in videoclips, the details of torn posters give new life to paper lacerations and decomposition, as you may see in this “postcard” reproducing one of the 40.000 images captured by Roberto Alborghetti during his research all around the world.

The next Roberto Alborghetti Show (“Colors of an Apocalypse: An Intrigue for the Eyes and Mind from the Decomposed Publicity Posters”) will take  place at Aldobrandesca Fortress (XIII Century) in Tuscany, from October 6 to November 4, 2012 .
