The conceptualism of Agnetti is oriented towards forms, images and content more personal and existential matrix pessimistic, through anthropological analysis of language and at times expressing feelings of alienation, lack of communication and aphasia, for example in the series of works Villages Are Different (1974) or in its Autotelefonata (1977).
