From 22 April to 30 December 2019
The first solo show in an Italian institution by the duo of Swiss artists, the exhibition is organized on the occasion of the 2018 European Photography Festival, entitled "Revolutions. Rebellions, changes, utopias".
The exhibition is spread over a path of five rooms and presents over twenty photographs of different formats mounted on panels and with pictorial interventions, together with agglomerations of salvaged objects selected by the artists in some local warehouses.
Cabins, work tools, tables, chairs, brightly colored plastic tubs, crates, rubber tubes: in the photographs everything seems torn up and overturned by an apparent hurricane that has just passed, the post apocalyptic visual atmosphere of the scenes refers to the recent passage of a presumable natural catastrophe, just as it can evoke a possible process of violent destruction by man.
At the same time these images present an intrinsic beauty, a harmonious composition of colors and shapes in which small lyrical details are manifested, connected both to human elements (the top of a round table that becomes an earthly moon, a house cut into two recomposed parts upside down) and natural (snowdrops and crocus that are born in the rubble, onion bulbs that sprout under the tables, a sleeping cat).
