"What to see what not to see, what to say what not to say... what to hear... what to feel... what to love...Maurizio Nannucci poses a series of questions that make us to reflect on the condition of man in society in a dual relationship, with others and with himself. The urgency that arises daily is to make a choice: what to see, what to say, what to think, what to perceive, what to love... how to orient our decisions. Nannucci's aim is not to offer solutions but to indicate and allude to the different possibilities of reading and interpreting the signs that surround us, in a continuous opening and declination of semantic components.

Behind the passion for multiples and artists' books there is the attempt to shape an artistic practice that develops itself as a mental process and strips the art object of its uniqueness giving to it new possibilities, also and above all outside the museum or gallery institution. However, the value of the multiple is certainly not limited to its function as a 'free art object' but each project brings with it an agile, entertaining, aesthetically, and poetically valuable idea.”
