Untitled – Anthropogenic Connection Project is part of the Anthropogenic Herbarium project, a series of works made in the studio as a kind of highly refined “travel diary/erbarium.” The work reflects the practice and aesthetic research of Eugenio Tibaldi, who, following two moments of residence in Addis Ababa, synthesizes in every detail his social, anthropological and economic investigation of the territory.
The organic interaction between nature and artifice, play and technique, architecture and art are its distinctive features that reflect a desire for a fusion of cultures leading to the production of a work with a hybrid identity: a bachelor machine, playful and functional at the same time, the result of an intense collaboration with the productive realities of the place and in line with the artist’s poetics and aesthetics of the fragment and marginality.

Eugenio Tibaldi (1977, Alba), an artist who has always been attracted to the dynamics of marginal areas, for a long period has chosen to live and work in Naples. Following a practice that has become a method, Tibaldi’s work is structured through the mechanisms and dynamics of specific places, almost always marginal spaces, in an attempt to reflect on a recurring condition found everywhere in human communities that eschew the logic of Western consumerist culture.
