"amo, noi" by Asia Capaldi

29.8-19.9.2024

opening 29.08. 19:00H

Entitled “amo, noi” and echoing the work Emerging Butterfly, this installation wants to involve the viewer in an intimate and private space, which somehow narrates the complexity of female identity and its facets. Filled with girly objects and references; fake nails, make-up, hair products, extensions, leopard-print panties, 2000s-style thrifted sunglasses ... it tells of a girl and her desire to transform and experiment in her little room. A celebration of femininity and queerness. Of a friendship in a safe place…long story short: amo, literally us.
