Where and when
From
To
Museo Novecento
Author of a liminal research, close to sculpture, Daniela De Lorenzo moves freely between different languages and disciplines such as photography, sculptural and installation practices, video and performance, creating continuous tangencies and superimpositions in her works.
Interpreting the legacy of sculpture is the perspective in which, from the very beginning, her research centered on the body is placed; medium and fundamental parameter of a refined “phenomenology of perception”, the body is the subject and object of the artist’s investigation. Present within the permanent itinerary of the Museo Novecento with Untitled 1988, a youthful work linked to neo-minimal language, Daniela De Lorenzo presents for the exhibition A certain probability a selection of 7 rigorously unpublished works, produced between 2014 and 2016 .
The works, exhibited on the second floor of the Museum, investigate the human body in its most sensitive aspects and allow us to reconstruct the intense activity of the artist starting from the different media used. From ceramics to embroidery, from photographs to paper sculptures, to video, the works, temporarily exhibited until 4 September, verify the delicate relationship between body, identity and perception. By condensing the memory of a gesture or evoking the physicality of an absent figure, far from being fragments of existence, the organs, limbs and traces formalized by the artist show fragments of another corporeality, attesting to new possible identities.
