Giulio Delvè (b. 1984, Naples, Italy) lives and works between Berlin, Germany and Naples, Italy. He analyses objects, architectures and elements to generate a reflection on their function and, consequently, what can result from an alteration of such function. His works often originate from found objects, which he dismantles, re-creates or re-arranges. These latter are often linked to a series of rituals, which have the role of defining and identifying a group of people. The narratives developed by a group as a communal output are a major part of Delvè’s research, together with their shared symbols, collectively experienced rites and the allusive, metaphorical and symbolical relation between the object and its history.
Delvè has been included in several institutional exhibitions, such as MART, Rovereto, Italy; Fuori Campo, Siena, Italy; Museo Apparente, Naples, Italy; Museo MADRE, Naples, Italy; Museo delle Mura Aureliane, Rome, Italy; and Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin, Italy.
