Archivio Remo Salvadori

"The concept of polarity and dualism would lead the artist to make and wear an overall that was half white and half black: Noli me tangere, a work that alluded directly to a dual identity but also made reference to the coincidentia oppositorum that was at the root of Nicholas of Cusa’s Neoplatonic humanism. A nod to the philosophical culture of the Renaissance that may seem remote in time but makes sense when you think of the substratum of first- and secondhand knowledge that the artist had built up during his studies and his reading in the years of his youth spent in Tuscany."
