If faithfully reproducing the visible is useless rather than impossible, making the invisible visible is the heroic undertaking into which Atanasio Giuseppe Elia, Luigi Galofaro and Angelo Diquattro decided to embark.
Immersed in a world not yet destroyed, but which the overabundance of visual stimuli has made elusive, they have recreated it in a form that is anything but predictable. Elia's works, for example, start from photography, but with the pure aim of transforming rather ordinary glimpses into dreams and hallucinated visions; in Diquattro's works a dense, milky fog invades regular profiles, like houses, in which a light turns on from time to time; Galofaro's sculptures, with their unresolved upward tension, are impossible machines for contacting the sky. Not even the dimensions matter, a disorientation in which the relationship is reversed, and the large becomes lenticular. Reality is reached through excess of abstraction, going beyond appearances. In each of these works, Kandinsky would say, 'an entire life is mysteriously contained'. Let's just ask ourselves if admiring similar works has introduced us to the boundaries of the visible, into a hitherto unknown realm. If the answer is yes, what are we left to look for?
The exhibition will remain open every day, from Saturday 7 December to 23 December from 10.00 to 12.00 and from 16.30 to 19.00. Free entry.
