Denti, 2015
Denti is an installation where a physical imperfection is the starting point for telling the artist's biography. A photo shows him illuminated by a wood light which highlights a defect in his teeth. A detached and professional voice describes Simone's artistic career for a few minutes, focusing on some of his most significant works. As in a radio broadcast, the story is followed distractedly and continuously. But it is only in the last seconds that the substance of the project is revealed, which links the photo to the sound in a game of references between true and false, between what we want to see and what actually passes before our eyes. Perhaps the reality for Cametti is a convoluted path, but the goal is really very simple for him. The truth surprises more than a fake touch-up.
