Patrick Tuttofuoco is interested in dialogue between people of widely differing origins and in urban life with its diverse structures and communities. His works, for which he employs a wide range of media, are intended to visualise his personal interpretation of the world as a \u201csocial, architectonic, relational, formal and cultural condensate\u201d. As a result, one can find in them ingredients as varied as loud music, bizarre architectonic forms, dazzling colours, documentary materials or found objects from flea markets.<\/p>\n
In K\u00fcnstlerhaus Bethanien, Patrick Tuttofuoco has created an \u201cartistic landscape\u201d by grouping together several separate works to construct a walk-in installation. Here, the title component is provided by a common and therefore seldom noticed plant: the \u201cDandelion\u201d is a frugal weed that seems just as much at home on wasteland and in scrap yards as it is in succulent meadows, making it into a perfect symbol of adaptation to urban change, of things that are always in a state of radical development. Tuttofuoco plans to fetch this symbol into the exhibition space from various locations in Berlin; here, he will exhibit and cultivate it, in order to return it to the urban environment later. In this sense, \u201cDandelion\u201d is the artist\u2019s homage to the city of Berlin, which Tuttofuoco sees as embodying permanent change in a way that no other city does. This is precisely why he has made Berlin into his home.<\/p>\n
