Fabrizio Giannini travels on the surface of his computer and television screens, immersing himself in a flow of homogamous and antagonistic, frivolous or serious, engaged in a furious battle. Making use now of first one, then a different image that attracts or interests him because of the importance of its power of synthesis of grouping. His work becomes an area of negotiation between private sensibility and the surrounding culture. Giannini reproduces for example, in partly modified form, the best known logos of the biggest brand names (Global, 2002-2003), placing the observer immediately in front of images that he recognises. In a series of more intimate works, which he has been working on for a number of years, he creates on paper images from sitcoms, from films and from television programmes, carrying them into a new context -- the walls of an art centre or of a gallery -- in the form of small, airy compositions. Their specific plot reveals their origin. These images, deprived of the movement the originally made them part of a message, now appear deprived of any sense of territoriality.
