Luca Trevisani's work focuses on natural phenomena such as transplantation, addition or movement, creating images and sculptures that redefine the notion of scientific research as artistic and visual practice. This new series consists of floral patterns printed on dried exotic leaves, mounted in a traditional wooden frame, reminiscent of the displays in a natural history museum. Trevisani uses floral motives sourced in applied arts and design, which were created through natural observation and research. The artist reflects about nature and artifacts, and the thin line that separates them. The starting point of the series was a performance, for which Trevisani had designed costumes printed with dried plants, hence the title "Notes for dried and living bodies".
