Laura F. Gibellini's artistic practice is procedural and diagrammatic in nature and is fundamentally formalized
through drawing, site-specific installations, video, object-making, or writing.
Consideration of expanded drawing, as well as the abandonment of frontal, bounded and two-dimensional representation
from traditional drawing in favor of immersive and "environmental" projects are found in the
basis of their work.
This begins by considering the notion of place and asking how we relate to the world, in order to
go on to investigate what kind of conventions we use to represent it and for what purpose - what
takes us from the intimacy of the domestic sphere to the territory and the environment.
His most recent work explores those elements that are found at the limits of the visible, in the
limits of what can be represented and therefore on the limits of what can be thought. In particular, it focuses
in that which lacks stable form and yet is basic to life (such as air, water, light or
the meteorological or atmospheric conditions of certain places) and considers how the difficulties
of representation affect our understanding of the world, since what remains unrepresentable does not
can be recognized, and therefore thought about. Gibellini's work explores the gaps in representation and
the possibilities of thinking the unthinkable.
