Nico Lillo is an artist and curator who lives and works in Hamburg, Germany. He works across painting, drawings and digital images. In his practices he combines materiality and digitalisation to reconfigure the format of visual representation. His interdisciplinary pieces deal with our collective memory and relationship between speculative fictions, consumerism and mysticism. Materiality plays a central role in his works as a way to explore the processes of how identities are constructed in a world of holograms, overproduction of data and environmental crisis. He produces deformed narratives where it is not possible to distinguish between utopian horizons or visions of catastrophes.
