Galleria Doris Ghetta is pleased to present Tropico Pasado, the first solo exhibition by Lucia Pizzani at the gallery and in Italy as well. Download the PDF publication of the show here
On view until 27 of July. For this occasion, the artist unveils a new constellation of works that deepens her investigation into the entangled relationships between organic matter, embodied subjectivities, and ecological memory. The exhibition’s title, Tropico Pasado, evokes a stratified tropical past – a geological tropic echoing the ancient marine origins of the Dolomites – which permeates the very material and conceptual strata of the installation. These works act as carriers of biological and political memory, inscribed in deep time and in trans-historical female genealogies.
