1st Prize

The winner of the #LassnigByMe art competition is Silvia Gatti! Congratulations Silvia! Silvia’s work is called ON PLACEBO EFFECT. 

Silvia explains she had a strong motivation and reason to participate in this competition:
“After a big accident this year, my legs were compromised and so my ability to walk and move. I had to learn again to do so. From zero. The new perceptions I was dealing with daily changes completely my experience and my understanding towards my body and my mind. It was an amazing experience. I decided to record with body scaled drawings this “other“ sensations and to understand the relationship I was building up with them every day. Who Was I? This is me, rolling myself, swimming, walking and running over a paper.”

Beatrice von Bormann (curator & jury member art competition):
“Silvia Gatti interpreted the concept of body awareness - the central theme of this contest- in its own unique way. After an accident, she had to rediscovered the relation of her mind and body with her art. In her life-sized drawing ‘ON PLACEBO EFFECT’ she used this new body awareness to create an original and interesting artwork.”
