During his residency ‘silent stigma’ investigates the social construction of stigmatisation. Through textual and sculptural practices, the project examines how vulnerability becomes a source of social judgement and how cultural structures shape perceptions of human experience. While the written component examines these questions theoretically, the sculptures engage with them through material processes of construction, resistance, deterioration, and rupture.
Matteo De Caminada (he), born 2001 in Bolzano, Italy, is a interdisciplinary artist whose work navigates between sculpture, design, media, spatial intervention and drawing.
