The cities where we are born and grow up shape and transform us. This is the starting point behind the new series A portrait of you (2020 –ongoing) by Daniele Sigalot. The artist engraves the topography of different cities around the world on a reflective surface of steel: the streets and the building completely transform the figure of those who reflect on them. The work, therefore, finds its completeness only when the topography lines of the cities are mixed with the features of someone’s face and body, creating a unique and unrepeatable result depending on who is mirrored and the city in which he does and so on. During 2021 the airport of Milan Malpensa Airport hosted 12 of these maps, in giant format, in the exhibition “A portrait of everyone, everywhere” curated by LucaBeatrice and sponsored by the City of Milan.
