Johan Samboni
Johan Samboni stands out as an untiring explorer of his surroundings. From the streets of his neighborhood to the most remote corners of the city, he uses his own body as a tool for investigation, reinforcing it with internet browsers and other digital technologies.
Samboni creates a constant dialogue between the physical and digital realms, using his work as a mirror to reflect and shape both realities. His work delves into the complexities of identity, as well as what becomes subjective in contexts characterized by alienation and socioeconomic violence.
Focusing on the dynamics of youth groups immersed in marginality and gang violence, his work raises questions about self-representation and identity construction in environments characterized by uncertainty and precariousness. Through a unique combination of visual media, technology, and critical reflection, Samboni invites us to reflect on our perceptions and judgments, and to understand the complexities of human experience in the digital age.
