Luigi & Iango celebrates surrealism for Numéro art

2024: discovers itself surrealist. This will not surprise anyone given the national context. But let’s forget politics, because it’s art that we’re talking about here, and more precisely the plethora of exhibitions dedicated to the movement initiated by André Breton just a century ago.

The Pompidou Centeron the front line, offers an XXL exhibition. On the cover of its thirteenth edition, Art number is also celebrating the centenary… in its own way. That is to say by inviting the famous duo Luigi & Iango to offer its own interpretation. What is surrealism today? How can we allow imagination and thought to flourish while freeing ourselves from all control exercised by reason?

A series inspired by Leonor Fini and produced in New York

Admirers of the work, still too little known, of the surrealist painter Leonor Finithe two photographers offer us for this Art number exceptional coverage and series. These friends of Madonna – the photos of the star as a Madonna, these are them – photographed for us for fourteen days at New York.

In their own home, or in the street, the duo formed by Luigi Murenu and Iango Henzi carefully constructs their photos while always leaving the door open to accidents. Far from the race for productivity and industrialized creativity, Luigi & Iango work as artists in a temporality freed from all rational control. Their practice, in a sense, is perhaps already a tribute to surrealism.
