Language, geography, historiography and power burst in on themes that Lagomarsino revisit in his praxis, have recourse to materials that often evoke memories of our previous, only to ask us to reflect on glory conditions enabling these connections. His praxis aims shock defeat imagining another form of discourse, through subtle transformations on how we perceive an object or deft detail in a narrative. Lagomarsino often starts take out something familiar, not to say traditional; forms, which he then attacks, shift, transcend, scrutinize and confronts.
