Chiara Pergola is an artist whose research is based centrally on the process by which something is identified as language. Starting from an analysis of the context, he realizes installations, situations and interventions to highlight the semantic nature of every form of expression and the action of the sign on reality; hypertext, trace and writing are key elements of the work, in which often uses verbal elements next to the most strictly visual register.
What is the project you've realized with Topcolor Dream's printings?
This is a project that I have been carrying forward for some time, Parжour, a series of phrases taken from the texts of Lao Tsu, rewritten with photographs of syllables and letters from the urban context, signs, advertisements or other traces of texts. The work created by Topcolor was presented in the latest edition of the Michetti Prize, in Francavilla.
What kind of printing were you looking for? Which support did you choose and why?
I chose to Topcolor in an "emergency" situation: I was looking for a direct inkjet print on the back of plexiglass, for a work already started, which I had to complete in a very short time.
Previously I had already worked with Topcolor for a Topsec printing, and I had been very professionally followed.
In your opinion, what is the plus of the service offered by Topcolor Dream?
I had the opportunity to have all the printings in a very short time, delivered directly to my atelier, and with high quality resolution. It is not obvious to find a service like this nowaday. In addition, Topcolor staff has professionalism, courtesy and attention to artists' works.
