At the Milan Triennale, here is Luca Staccioli's queue eliminator kit

The Milan Triennale, in collaboration with Lavazza Group, presents a new art installation that promises to fascinate and make visitors think. The work, titled Multifunctional Queue Eliminator Kit (Prickly Pears) and created by Luca Staccioli (Imperia, 1988), can now be seen inside the Triennale Café, an exhibition space dedicated to temporary installations that explore themes related to nature and sustainability. This installation follows a series of works by well-known artists such as GL 03 by Andrea Branzi, Under a Coffee Tree by Francis Kéré, Terra-cotta, Plastic Pots and Chai and Chinese Hibiscus by Lorenzo Vitturi, and Saetta (Totem) by Alice Ronchi. Staccioli’s work, like the previous ones, is part of a path of promotion and enhancement of the Italian art scene, curated by Damiano Gullì.

Born in Imperia in 1988, Luca Staccioli is a visual artist and researcher who currently lives and works in Milan(here an in-depth look at his art). His artistic practice spans several disciplines, including video, photography, sound, sculpture, embroidery, drawing and collage. Her works are often characterized by a strong message of denunciation of the contemporary consumer system, as well as a deep reflection on the possibility of metamorphosis and rebirth inspired by nature.

The series of ceramic works Multifunctional Kit Eliminator (Prickly Pear), made in 2024, takes inspiration from the continuous transformation of the landscape and the adaptability of living things. The snail in a queue-eliminator kit undergoes a process of transformation, going from an everyday object to the matrix of a living body. These new organisms, with totemic shapes and anti-realistic colors, are inspired by prickly pears, symbols of resilience and natural multiplication. Staccioli’s works, conceived as narratives, question the processes of aesthetic and identity homogenization, and their influence on competitiveness, value, expectations and the exploitation of emotionality by the mass media. By altering the size of objects, changing their materials and eliminating their original function, the artist opens the door to new poetic possibilities of metamorphosis, narrative and rebirth.
