iacopo seri born in 1983 lives in Naples, Italy and explores how to misplace common ideas and conceptions into unconventional understandings of human mythology. Seri uses different techniques and medias to broadcast knowledge taken from living myths, a concept inspired by the late professor Joseph Campbell.

Seri was involved in the liverpool bienall 2018 showcasing his piece; '“A drunken meditation on the mystery of existence” this was an communal and interactive piece where he invited people to a bar, provided them with bottomless red or white wine and insinuated conversations about philosophy, in order to encounter and document the change of ideas and behavioural patterns of the public due to the influence of alcohol. this highlights the effect intoxication has on our reality and artistic conceptions.

I feel a connection to his work and admire his constant deliberations to push the boundaries we have put in place, and encourages us conquer our own barriers in life. We can see examples of this in his piece; ‘Qualcosa è successo’ a performance with a couple of lovers in 2010. he explains; '“I brought two persons in the space of an exhibition, the night before the opening. I asked them to make love there, then I left them alone. Nobody knows what really happened; I wrote conjectures about the circumstance on the catalogue, by hand, a different one for each copy'“ this is an example of how he questions and pushes us to ask ourselves what is too much and why do we have these pre conceived ideas of what is appropriate and what is not.
