Romane de Watteville's exhibition "I'll miss you when I scroll away" opens at Istituto Svizzero in Milan, featuring an environmental installation designed specifically for the venue. Her figurative paintings explore the tension between aesthetic saturation and the disorienting experience of digital consumption, drawing from online imagery and personal archives.
The exhibition matters because it addresses a central contemporary tension: how visual culture is shaped by digital scrolling and the fleeting, addictive nature of online engagement. De Watteville's work offers a critical yet seductive reflection on how we consume images in the age of social media, making it relevant to current debates about attention, aesthetics, and digital life.
