Biography
For more than 20 years, Influenza has practiced in public space in every direction: walls, ground, and air… From early on he used diverse tools from spray paint to plastic bags, passing by running and climbing… His practice physically questions the place of the individual in overregulated cities and exalts the signs deriving from the daily practicing of space.
