Gabo Guzzo’s work explores the potential of living within a dynamic ‘open system’, investigating the relevance of establishing a difference between draftness and completeness and thus questioning originality.

The concepts of self-invention and self-expression presented in his work, clarify how an empowered human being is today, not only able to take control of the Natural system, but in fact engages in extended hybridizing practices. After the era of the carat - where mankind pursued purity, of races, geographical boundaries, identities, gender, metals, raw materials, languages, cultures, faiths and genealogical lines – our society now embraces the era of the bastard, in which we worship exoticism, hybrid and contamination.
