Through women's eyes
CURATED BY FRANCESCA ALFANO MIGLIETTI, SETTING UP BY ANTONIO MARRAS
“Through women’s eyes” is a powerful exhibition that speaks about the care lavished on relationships, about our relationship with the other, and about ways of gazing on and observing the world – and where the premise is an innate sense of responsibility.
Tre Oci: the house with three eyes
BY FRANCESCA ALFANO MIGLIETTI
“Art is the provocation for talking about enigma and the search for sense in human life” (John Berger) and “there can be no true knowledge without the interweaving of other knowledge” (Maria Nadotti), and the ordinary or extraordinary use that can be made of it.
Through women’s eyes weaves, blends, hybridizes, and brings together various elements like perspectives, existences, emotions, and alterations through two constants: the authors are all women and the “medium” is always photography. These are the ingredients.
Tre Oci: the house with three eyes
BY ANTONIO MARRAS
“What a strange power there is in clothing!,” wrote Isaac B. Singer, and stranger still is the power of lost, abandoned, forgotten clothing.
I live in my own world, made of disordered order and ordered disorder. Outside the lines, outside the boundaries. It fascinates me to soil and deface things, make them impure, put the surfaces of different objects in contact. I spend long hours, oblivious to everything and everyone.
A blank sheet of paper, the small spaces of pages already written, used notebooks, old book jackets, paper or cardboard, postcards, scraps of cloth, all asking to be filled.
