On the occasion of Guendalina Cerruti’s first solo exhibition in Naples, we are pleased to present three new works from a recent series exploring the dimensions of dreams and visions, each realized on IKEA’s iconic pillowcases.
Through a system of references and accumulations, what is fragile, eccentric, or excessive is transformed into a language capable of generating meaning and establishing a direct relationship with the viewer. The micro is not synonymous with marginality; rather, it becomes a way of reading reality, capable of revealing the tensions of the present. What emerges are layered assemblages — between sculpture, collage, and personal narratives — that are fulfilled in the encounter with the spectator, at the point where the private dimension opens onto forms of shared affectivity.
