After years of research, Vanello’s practice explores the interweaving of non-human entities in the processes of distribution of the visible. Plants, inanimate objects, images, affects and energies are seen as part of the same organic whole, creating an isomorphism between social forces and material ecologies. By approaching physical manipulation as a conceptual tool, intimate narratives and material cycles are intertwined. Through processes such as evaporation, digital alteration of images, compression, fragmentation and absorption, alteration as a form of abstraction becomes a way of thinking through collective and individual narratives.
