The death of artist Luca Sivelli of the duo Moio&Sivelli. The memory of Luigi Moio
La morte dell’artista Luca Sivelli del duo Moio&Sivelli. Il ricordo di Luigi Moio
Luca Sivelli, half of the Italian artist duo Moio&Sivelli, has died at age 52. The news was shared by his lifelong partner Luigi Moio, who recounted their first meeting as children in Amalfi, their years at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Napoli, and their transformative Erasmus in Granada followed by a move to London in 1997. In London they lived in squats and collaborated with erotic performer Maus, whose shocking performances inspired their boundary-pushing work. The duo produced a feverish two-decade body of work blending video, performance, photography, and installation, often pulling audiences into ambiguous, erotic, and destabilizing situations.
