UK-based visual artist and filmmaker Davide Quagliola (aka Quayola) likes to deconstruct architecture and historic artworks, rebuilding them to form the basis of his video pieces. He reveals the painter who’s been his biggest source of inspiration, talks us through clips of his Strata series—which geometrically dissect the ceilings of Roman cathedrals— takes us behind the scenes of his audiovisual collaborations with Mira Calix, and gives light to his current re-cataloging commission for the Palais des Beaux Arts museum.
