Giorgio Sadotti

Giorgio Sadotti (born 1955) UK. Arguably the most underrated of the YBA, Giorgio Sadotti is a conceptual artist based in London.

One of his most interesting work is "Went to America Didn't say a word" (1999), this is how he described it: "On the morning of Saturday March 20, 1999, I flew on American Airlines from London Heathrow to New Yorks John F. Kennedy airport. I was wired for sound and upon arrival switched on my mini-disc recorder. I stayed overnight at a hotel on Lexington and 21st and flew back to London the following evening whilst in America I didn't say a word, but all my waking hours were recorded."He then exhibited the recordings in a three day exhibition. In order to experience the whole show the spectator would have to stay in the gallery for the full duration of the show.
