Join us for the presentation of Neurotic Seduction Astral Production by Ludovica Gioscia, a new work from her Giant Decollage series. These expansive wall-based works are formed through the accumulation of several layers of wallpapers which are then peeled back by the artist to reveal the strata underneath. Gioscia appropriates the language of consumerism, with her flamboyant surfaces acting as a mirror that reflects society’s compulsions and obsessions.


Gioscia is a compulsive hoarder and has been collecting wallpaper since 2003, which she either buys readymade during her travels or on eBay; or she designs herself and screenprints by hand. The wallpaper archive comprises a wide variety of decorative motifs deriving from leisure and entertainment, such as watches, stripes, maps, architectural details, icons from social media, images of currencies no longer in use, geometric shapes, shimmering swirls, palm trees, and much more. Her Giant Decollage works are always site-specific with the selection of motifs feeding into grander narratives of soft power.
