I think I didn’t really choose to live in Paris. It was a bit of a coincidence. Some great French merchant, at the time... they were the ones who dragged me to live a bit, to get a house here.
.With these words Valerio Adami tells how he arrived in Paris, but also about the other cities in which he lived: Milan, London and New York, but not only. Adami is an artist who has traveled extensively, knowing how to grasp the peculiarities of different cultures and different historical moments and then returning them to his works.
The video was shot by Dep Art Gallery on the occasion of the visit to Valerio Adami’s studio in March 2022.
Thanks to Fabio Mantegna for filming and Simone Bani for editing.
