“One of Macri’s photographic works, Citing A Medium, reveals the depth of his philosophy. The 30″ x 30″ piece has never been publicly exhibited or published, but Macri has shared reflections on its creation. He considers himself “the medium,” a concept inspired by an ARToday article that shifted his perspective. The idea resonates deeply with him, especially in its connection to historical art traditions.”

“Macri’s art challenges conventional boundaries, offering a commentary on themes ranging from self-perception to environmental crises. His pieces, such as Citing A Medium and Jahrfish raid, demonstrate his capacity to transform ideas into vivid, thought-provoking experiences.

As 2024 ends, Macri grounded in the physical but rich with introspection, his art encourages us to reflect on our world and our place within it. Through his imaginative landscapes and personal narratives, Macri creates a space for curiosity, dialogue, and transformation.

His practice reminds us of the power of art to connect the tangible with the abstract, the individual with the universal. In Macri’s world, creativity is not just a method of expression—it’s a way of bridging the gaps between reality and possibility.”

“Despite its loveliness, Citing A Medium disturbs me as much as any of the other portraits. It’s very stillness, wrapped in hues of brown, gold and black, with a touch of silver, suggests waiting and inactivity, as if needing to be plugged in like an electrical vehicle charged to make a move. This sense of human become android is heightened by the Robocop eyewear, another image from the movies, which is not surprising given Macri’s fascination with the imagery and structure of cinema. For that reason, the title intrigues me.”
