Adamo Macri: Become What You Eat.

Multimedia artist Adamo Macri lives and works in Montreal, Canada. Specific themes interweave through Adamo’s art, such as the notion of procreation. He investigates form without parameters, fashioned through amalgamation of disparate components. He explores concepts of the metaphysical aspect of vector symbols becoming form or matter themselves, with an attempt of inventing an incorporeal transcendent landscape. Macri finds the relationship between surface and content, skin and visceral system, and the interdependence between the two in order to sustain life absorbing.
He works with the idea of film and its use of multiple stills to evoke motion, time and evolution. The occurrence of motion and evolution examined through his art is also symbolic of the human condition. Every individual’s state of being changes significantly during the course of one single day, due to the evolutionary nature of the human psyche and the constant adaptation to environment and mood. As a result, what one considers palatable in the morning is not necessarily deemed appealing in the afternoon or the evening. The route traced by these transitions is what he refers to as a “drill”, epitomized by his slogan, “If you catch me at the right time, I might be in the mood” or “Become what you eat”, this phrase is derived from his belief that the eventual use or consumption of the art dictates the final form and content.
Macri has received international praise, been showcased at Random Arts & Entertainment, Absolute Lomo, FRAME, in addition to having captured the attention of Susan Zadeh editor-in-chief of Eyemazing magazine amongst others. EXUVIAE is a short film illustrating the development process of concept art, along with the act of documenting sculpture as “action” or “event” involving multiple photographic images.
