"Federico Arcuri's research focuses on an investigation of urban spaces, architecture and people in transit, which the artist photographs in order to translate them into a pictorial final cut in which the lines of the buildings, and the routes, from familiar places become impersonal accumulations, feed-backs that re-propose a new tension of memory tending to reformulate and differently intend the relationship between the individual-environment-metropolis. While the spaces are clearly those of the city of Milan, in Arcuri's conceptual reinterpretation they become universal spaces, perhaps dreamlike spaces, certainly utopian spaces.
