Silly Symphony is a newly-produced project by Martín Vitaliti that starts from the appropriation of the earliest American cartoons from the thirties, the golden age of animation, which began with the coming of the first animated cartoons with synchronised sound. The title Silly Simphony comes from the name of a series of shorts produced by Walt Disney between 1929 and 1939. The artist highlights the artisanal process of assembly line production of the drawings used for those early animations. Specifically, he pays attention to the sequences of repetitive movements of the characters in a specific scene and the way in which digital manipulation can change their perception by decoding their reading. In this display, Vitaliti will create an installation to display the tragic and alienating dimension of these repetitive loops, which evoke the extreme use of assembly lines to maximise profits.
Martín Vitaliti
1978, Buenos Aires
Martín Vitaliti (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1978) is a visual artist and researcher on the logics of representation. His work has focused on the analysis of the verbal and iconic narrative codes of comic books to reflect on this language as yet another narrative construction of modern art. The methodology he uses is close to appropriation, borrowing references from sub-cultures that allow him to examine and demystify the creative process, covering subjects such as quotes, authorship, creation, reproduction and/or originality. The formats he uses to develop his work have covered graphic images, installations, video and/or publications.
His most recent exhibited works include Es muro es mero muro es mudo mira muere, Blueproject Foundation (Madrid, 2021); La idea de una imagen, Fundació Suñol (Barcelona, 2021); Para ser dos hay que ser diferentes, Galería etHALL (Barcelona, 2020).
