Francesco Vezzoli's work highlights and subverts media conventions and the star concept. He started out by making embroidery portraits of pop icons before turning mainly to videos to tarnish media myths and poke fun at phony stardom. He does fake TV shows featuring world-famous celebrities, blurring the lines between fiction and reality, thereby exposing the share of fiction in the media.
Imitating popular media forms, the Italian artist strengthens the inherent ambiguity between searching for truth and building a narrative. His works experiment with this communication strategy to the point of depicting his own life and inventing his own death.
