Daniel Di Girolamo

During his IASPIS residency, he will explore the kinetic and sonic potential of sculpture, focusing on the dynamic relationship between matter, space, and energy.

He explores how sound, movement, and material change can reflect human memory and emotion. By focusing on transformation and instability, his work treats vulnerability not as weakness but as openness — a state where new meanings can emerge through interaction, context, and time.

Daniele Di Girolamo studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna and at Malmö Art Academy. Recent performances and exhibitions include: Why control everything?, sound performance at Inter Art Center, Malmö (2025); Misure di una Distanza, solo exhibition at Spazio Supernova, Rome (2024); Cose bellissime che si dissolvono (un incontro), site specific installation at Palazzo Collicola Museum, Spoleto (2024); Ex-studenter från Konsthögskolan i Malmö, Arnstedt gallery, Östra Karup (2024); Materia Sonora, group show at the Italian Cultural Institute, Madrid (2024); Beautiful Things Fading Away, solo show at KHM2, Malmö (2023).
