Simon Moretti (b.1974) is a London-based artist whose multidisciplinary practice explores psychoanalytical and philosophical themes through the frameworks of context, display, and cultural memory. Engaging deeply with the strategies of appropriation, he draws upon found imagery, historical archives, and textual material to construct layered visual narratives that question authorship, temporality, and meaning.
 
Moretti’s work frequently intersects with curatorial and publishing practices, reflecting his interest in collaborative modes of production and the dissemination of ideas. By combining image, text, and installation, his projects often unfold as conceptual inquiries into the relationships between art, theory, and the mechanisms of display. He has exhibited widely in both solo and group exhibitions and has contributed to numerous curatorial and editorial initiatives that bridge contemporary art and critical thought.
