Visual artist Manuel Canu (IT) has a Bachelor in 3D Ceramics Design at Bath Spa University, England, and now lives and work in Copenhagen.
In his installations Manuel creates fictitious architectural structures, where he predominantly uses unfired clay as a building material. The modeled clay is intentionally left to dry through the exhibition period, a process of mutation, shrinking, cracking and at times falling into pieces. Manuel uses those qualities in his work to expose the fragility of place and space. He explores relationships between physicality and immateriality; familiarity and remoteness; fragility and stability.
His work has mainly been exhibited internationally through public and non-profit institutions.
