Giorgio Zeno Graf
CV

I work with sculpture, printing, drawing, and installation using reclaimed materials and everyday objects. My research focuses on disused materials and stories, exploring their ecological, historical, and symbolic connections. Through a process that intertwines materiality, gesture, and context, I develop an aesthetic linked to themes such as consumption, presence and absence, and transformation.

I won the First Prize at “Le stanze dell'arte – Premio giovani artisti Genesi creativa” at the M.A.X. Museo di Chiasso (2020) and have exhibited in group exhibitions at Cabaret Voltaire (Zurich), Istituto Svizzero in Rome (2023), Bissone Arte 22 (2022), La Regionale in Ticino (2026), Castelgrande in Bellinzona (2025), and Monte Verità with La Rada (2026).

A border becomes natural when no one remembers who drew it. It separates pasture from forest, the domestic from the wild, what belongs from what does not. Territory, beyond being a physical space, is a construction made of repeated gestures, materials bearing traces of bodies, uses, and landscapes. The reclaimed matter comes from the surrounding space and continues to belong to it, in a balance between memory and transformation.
