Lorenzo Pezzani
Lorenzo Pezzani was the first
Delfina Foundation resident at
the Decolonizing Architecture
studio in Bethlehem. He is a
researcher based in London. After
having studied architecture at
the Accademia di Architettura
di Mendrisio in Switzerland, he
engaged, in 2008, in the activities
of the Centre for Research
Architecture (Goldsmiths)
where he obtained an MA and
where he is currently a PhD
candidate. His practice-based
research projects, moving across
diverse disciplines and media,
have taken various forms (video
and audio pieces, installations,
publications) and have been
exhibited, among other places,
at the Centre for Contemporary
Art in Glasgow and at the 4th
International Architecture
Biennale in Rotterdam. Lorenzo
Pezzani has worked as assistant
curator for Manifesta 7 and has
contributed to various journals
and magazines. His current work
looks at how the afterlife of various
?«things?» (buildings, monuments,
migrant bodies and images) could
enhance, through profanation, the
production of a new postcolonial
ecology. He is also contributing to
the ongoing project ??¹Model court???,
which analyses the courtroom as
an apparatus that produces legal
???truths?? by means of various
protocols of spacial and aural
performativity
