Citron | Lunardi has been active for over a decade, developing an artistic research that merges art, science, and technology. Their practice challenges traditional concepts of human identity through a post-anthropocentric lens, influenced by the theories of Donna Haraway, Karen Barad, Lynn Margulis and Roberto Marchesini.
Selene Citron: sculptor, performer, and media artist. Trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, she integrates tactile materials (plaster, clay, resin) with digital technologies such as 3D printing and photogrammetry. She teaches Plastic Disciplines at the “A. Modigliani” Art High School.
Luca Lunardi: videomaker and independent researcher. A Humanities graduate specializing in History and Film Criticism (University of Padua), he combines video art production with scientific dissemination. His theoretical research analyzes and questions the representation of the "non-human" in media.
Research: Posthuman Visions and Regeneration
Through video, sculpture, and immersive digital environments, the duo shapes visual narratives populated by hybrid ecosystems and suspended territories. In these worlds, the boundaries between the natural and the artificial become porous: bodies cease to be isolated entities and become "nodes of relationships"— assemblages in constant metamorphosis between composition and decomposition.
Their methodology is rooted in technical cross-pollination: traditional sculptural gestures engage in a dialogue with 3D scanning and AI, giving life to synthetic organisms and geological surfaces that reflect the complexity of the contemporary era.
Projects such as Compost or the ongoing trilogy dedicated to the natural kingdoms explore scenarios where species hierarchies dissolve.
Citron | Lunardi do not merely document present fragility or dystopian drifts; theirs is a poetics of regeneration. They transform ecological crisis and technological evolution into an imaginative space where plants, data, and matter coexist, inviting the viewer to decentre their gaze and rediscover themselves as part of an interconnected whole.
