Statement
Guido Yannitto's greatest interest revolves around popular cultures. In recent years he has been working with textiles and tapestries exploring their possibilities and thinking about the sculptural aspects of this planimetric technique. One of the most relevant aspects found in this system of representation are notions related to communication and translation.
Ideas such as identity and dissolved identity, oral transmission, genealogy, subjectivity and collective work are conceptual axes in his exchanges with weavers. But above all, ideas about the territory in Latin America.
