KIZUNA
Valerio Berruti’s artwork, “Kizuna,” is created with precious red lacquer on Japanese paper and boasts an exceptional soundtrack by the Oscar-winning maestro Ryūichi Sakamoto. The protagonist is a little girl sitting at a table, continuously moving her hands: she composes, creates, undoes, or draws, working intently without pause.
Kizuna, is part of the video animation presented at the 2011 exhibition at the Pola Museum Annex in Ginza, Tokyo.

Biography: Valerio Berruti was born in 1977 in Alba, in the region of Piedmont, where he still lives and works. The artist prefers to use simple materials, employing the age-old technique of fresco painting on untreated jute canvas, sculpture, particularly in concrete or steel, and video animation to create simple images inspired by the suspended world of childhood, the time in our lives when we are all the same and everything has yet to happen. We can all recognise ourselves in his children, from whom he removes all features that make them recognisable, so that viewers project themselves onto the image they see, with their own past and their own intimacy.
In 2009 Berruti was the youngest artist to participate in the 53rd Biennale in Venice. In 2018 Berruti began working on an animated short film co-produced with Sky Arte, La giostra di Nina, with a soundtrack by Ludovico Einaudi. The big carousel was exhibited in the Church of San Domenico in Alba in the autumn of 2018, at MAXXI in Rome in 2019, and then in the Galleria Grande at the Reggia di Venaria near Turin, while the short film premiered at the Rome Film Festival and participated in the world’s most important film festivals.
