This statement is universally true and mentioned in many different forms and contexts, —from Buddhism, to Western and Eastern philosophy. The relativity of perception in “New York - A Glimpse in the Puddle”, is also the theme of Monica Castiglioni exhibition at Galleria Francesco Zanuso. The work presented in this exhibition shows how:
New York City has been photographed countless times by different artists with different approaches. Now, the city is depicted in a brand new way: reflected into a puddle, seen through the eyes of a passionate, istinctive, down-to-earth and ironical artist with unrelentless energy.
A tribute to New York City, a virtual trip from the past to the present and towards the future filled with feelings of transience, sadness and hope. A puddle in a street is like a temporary natural and symbolic mirror: the inconsistency of a reflection and of the primal image reflected into it which becomes abstract and recalls a different dimension away from its own.
A puddle is a way of expressing hope: the calm......after the storm. Monica Castiglioni adds: “If rain is made of tears from the earth, I like thinking that there’s always the sun shining behind the clouds and sooner or later everything will come to a new life”.
The exhibition, curated by Francesca Alfano Miglietti, will be on view until October 25.
