Lorella Paleni’s Dwellers uses the monotype process. She hand paints each still with watercolor on glass and then impresses the image onto paper using hand pressure. Chance is an important element of each work. The monotype transfer process works not only as a mirrored image, repetition and mutation of the original, but also as a metaphor for translation, a form of repetition where something gets lost and new meanings emerge. Each animation is meant to play with no beginning or end, in perpetual flow.
Lorella Paleni is an Italian-born artist living and working in Paris.
