Author: Sighicelli, Elisa
Invited by GAM (Gallery of Modern Art, Milan) to curate an exhibition of their repository, Elisa Sighicelli photographed the plasters, marbles, mutilated bodies 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. Silvana Editoriale. hb. 96 pages. 60 colour ills. 29 x 22 cm.
