Invernomuto

Simone Bertuzzi and Simone Trabucchi have been collaborating as Invernomuto since 2003.

Although their work focuses primarily on the moving image and sound, they also integrate sculpture, performance and publishing into their practice. Invernomuto explores what remain of subcultures by moving through different media. Observed through unashamedly affected eyes, oral cultures and minor histories are laid open, their vernacular forms examined. Inauthentic materials play a fundamental role within this process, emphasizing the fictitious realities that inspire them. Bertuzzi and Trabucchi have developed individual lines of research into sound with the outlets Palm Wine and STILL, respectively.

In 2018 Invernomuto is a MAXXI Bvlgari Prize (Rome) and MAC International 2018 (Belfast) finalist. Currently they are developing the project «Black Med», initiated for Manifesta 12 (Palermo).
