By an exercise of gesture representation, Luca Lombardi’s pictorial research explores digital dynamics through the figure of the Swipe. The everyday gestuality enacted by digital devices presents itself as a constant succession of actions seemingly without form, except that of one’s imprint on the screen. It is precisely through this imprint, the last tangible reminder of the material in the immaterial world of screens, that the physical gesture fixes its manifestation. Within the technological universe we inhabit, adept at synthesizing everything it comes into contact with, the gestural form of our actions has been reduced to a swipe. The swipe presents itself as the fingerprint of our intentions and, as a fingerprint, retains all those ephemeral characters to which it owes its definition.
