Filippo Comandi Biography

I am a visual artist who explores the fragile relationships between memory, degeneration, and the digital imaginary. I live and work in Venice, where I am completing the MA in Visual Arts at IUAV and i am developing projects that weave together archives, the internet, and intimacy. I am drawn to what corrupts memory: what diverts, disturbs, or fractures perception until it becomes ambiguous. Through video, scans, and archival materials, I give form to this unrest, transforming it into images suspended between nostalgia and unease. My work grows from a recurring question: what happens when what we remember no longer aligns with what we have lived?

My practice investigates the fragile and often unstable relationship between memory, degeneration, and the digital imaginary. Living and working in Venice, where I am completing an MA in Visual Arts at IUAV, I develop projects that intertwine archives, internet-derived materials, and forms of intimacy shaped by mediation and loss.

I am drawn to what corrupts memory rather than preserves it: distortions, interruptions, and perceptual fractures that render experience ambiguous. These disruptions are not treated as errors, but as sites where meaning begins to slip, revealing the tension between what is remembered and what has actually been lived.

Working primarily with video, scans, and archival materials, I construct images that hover between nostalgia and unease. The works often evoke a sense of familiarity that is unstable, suspended in a temporal limbo where past and present contaminate one another. My process is less concerned with reconstruction than with exposure—making visible the erosion, noise, and emotional residue embedded in images and memories.

At the core of my practice lies a recurring question: what happens when memory no longer corresponds to experience, and when the past, filtered through digital and affective decay, becomes something other than a reliable reference point?
