Born in 1969 in Roccavione (Cuneo), Italy.

His work establishes a genealogic relationship to matter, undertaking a movement in which,
from the library as a collective heritage, becomes the germ of sculptures that hold a material
“reminiscence” value. The intervention on the written text in which he digs, profiles enigmatic
shapes and forms, and sets a space in which the matter is thought as memory.  The book,
though cut in a creative intention, remains idolized as an aesthetical, historical, cultural
and divinatory object. This creative and aggressive gesture represents thus the nuclear e
lement that makes explicit and overcomes the first meaning by opening a latent and potential semantic field.
 
The hand of the artist gives way to the drawing that emerges from the stacked pages, showing
the deficiency or inadequacy of writing to communicate properly, turning into an indecipherable
text. Words stay readable and emerges from literary hidden references, simulating a horizon
line; an excavated group of books brings to light a mountain landscape from which tracks of
earth or charcoal traces, as a sort of memory of their future.
 
Dialectic process between the materiality of heritage and his conceptual projection, Cordero
undertakes then a hermeneutic of substance. He re-interprets and transforms this legacy
in a renewed language, seizes the texts and their opened possibilities to perform an unveiling
and concealing game, that enhances an archaeology of subject who confronts the matter.
