Author: Sighicelli, ElisaInvited by GAM (Gallery of Modern Art, Milan) to curate an exhibition of their repository, Elisa Sighicelli photographed the plasters, marbles, mutilated b odies and female figures that, unknown to the museum visitors, inhabit the basement. Sighicelli reveals surprising formal relationships and silent dialogues in casual juxtapositions: a statue that whispers in the ear of another, a sidelong glance that seems to cross the eyes of a companion, a close contact that suggests a love encounter. Elements such as dust, inventory tags and bubble wrap become crucial nodes of a spontaneous script activated by the artist's gaze on the sculptures.ISBN 9788836651528.
