Domestica (Domestic)
Winner of the Soroptimist Award “Storie di Donne”, First Edition
edited by Benedetta Donato
In this exhibition, we access the personal and fantastical sphere shown by the artist, as a diary of people's everyday family routine during a period of confinement and isolation.
Moments come one after the other slowly and with suspended timing, where the rhythm is punctuated by visual fragments, that are able to give shape to thoughts while trying to make sense of something that does not actually have any.
The house transforms into a place where reality hides many small details, new treasures to discover, games to invent. A broken dish becomes a sinuous line, locks of hair spill onto the floor to draw faces; every object and every gesture assume a different meaning, searching for a new balance.
An immersive and extraordinary journey into that “stream of consciousness” - as the author has described this work – to become familiar with a new concept of family habitat, to redefine oneself in it and give a new value to it.
The narration depicted in Domestica (Domestic) is the tale of changing oneself and the surrounding environment, by establishing a new balance, necessary to confront a complex present and create future harmony.
Other stories match this visual and existential diary, as if to define a new understanding made up only by looks, that actually turns out to be a proportionate correspondence between different, yet so close, stories of women.
