“Turin-based artist Inverni operates by small additions and juxtapositions, on the very border between frames and formats, on those hinges which are left unspoken within visual narrations. He is a storyteller, but his narratives unveil in absentia. His art is one of near-invisible actions and ironic, understated comments. [...] A silent dimension opens up, alongside unnoticed details and visual bends which are usually overlooked. Borrowing a phrase from Bas Jan Ader, ‘in search of the miraculous’, one could say that Inverni’s search for the miraculous lies within memories”.
