Diego Marcon: La Gola

Diego Marcon’s work draws from various cinematic genres, including musicals, melodrama, horror, and slapstick comedy, using robotics, prosthetics, and CGI to create his unsettling imagery. His new piece, “La Gola” (2024), features letters exchanged between Gianni and Rossana. While Gianni details an elaborate banquet, Rossana describes her mother’s health decline. The characters are hyperrealistic mannequins, motionless except for CGI-animated eyes, with voices set to a score by Federico Chiari. Produced in partnership with Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève and Kunstverein in Hamburg, this is Marcon’s first solo exhibition in Austria.
