CHOREAE VIOLENTAE DISSOLVVNTVR
an art and poetry project of Stefano LOSI



“I am generated by RESTLESSNESS · The uninterrupted movement of the seas of METHYMNA”



STEFANO LOSI was born in Lake Como, near Milan, where he was classically educated in literature and fine arts. Nominated Knight of the Italian Republic by President Ciampi, he is currently Senior Official of the United Nations in New York.


“Violent Dances Fade · Choreae Violentae Dissolvvntvr” is his multimedia art and poetry project, created in Milan in 1991, and further developed in London and New York. It combines sculptures in bronze, steel, cast glass and LED lights, contemporary music and spoken word, and linen studies of the human figure in oils and oxidized metal minerals, with an epigrammatic Latin poetry.


“Timeless. On the contrary, inside time. And beyond. | Significant. Blunt. Stirring, most of all.”

Marco MATHIEU, Writer and Journalist La Repubblica, Rome


“The most impressive work I have picked up in the past couple years. Such a scholarly writer.”

Steve AOKI, Writer and Musician Los Angeles, California


"This is a “splendid union”. In these words there is the same hope I cherish when I observe the world."

Antonio Maria COSTA, Under-Secretary-General, United Nations
