HUMAN SPACE IDENTITY
As part of PARCOURS BIJOUX 2020 the Parisian path of events dedicated to the contemporary creation of jewelry, French and international, we report the exhibition entitled HUMAN SPACE IDENTITY at the Galerie Sophie...etc! in Paris, thanks to the curatorship of Ilaria Ruggiero and A/dornment. The exhibition includes the works of four Italian artists and jewelry designers, Laura Forte, Letizia Maggio, Simona Materi and Francesca Mazzotta, together with an artist from Mexico, Raquel Bessudo. This event will bring to the public the results achieved by the artists' creative explorations, which together specifically address the theme of identity in relation to that of space, developing distinct conceptual themes paths and the use of different languages, the aim of the exhibition is to question the concepts of belonging and identity at existential, social and political level.
Letizia Maggio realizes a new series through the use of different media and techniques, almost definitively abandoning the insertion of metals, or precious materials, and focusing on the photographic print on canvas of the photos made by Alice Brazzit. Details of loved ones naked bodies represent intimate and embodied portions of stories, which here take on absolute and universal value. To these pieces of prints she includes words, sewn threads, chains, rediscovered elements of old watches, which create a puzzle whose order and composition is the staging of an existential internal landscape.
to follow some of her works:
The work of Laura Forte moves in the opposite direction, in which the total abstraction of forms and thought prevails. Always characterized by extreme geometric minimalism, the ‘Utopia’ series further emphasizes the symbolic value of the forms and their combination in games of metaphysical perfection. A platonic, ideal, utopian, pure space, created in the interstices, just counteracting reality, which chaotically transports us into the continuous flow of matter.
