La vulnerabilità vista dallo sguardo di due artiste in mostra in Romagna
The Galleria d’Arte Contemporanea Vero Stoppioni in Santa Sofia is hosting "Corpi invisibili, fuori controllo" (Invisible Bodies, Out of Control), a dual exhibition featuring artists Claudia Amatruda and Carla Giaccio Darias. Part of the broader "Un Problema del Genere" festival, the show explores the concept of vulnerability through contrasting artistic methods. Amatruda utilizes photography, sculpture, and video to depict bodies in risky, natural environments that highlight relational dependency, while Giaccio Darias uses archival imagery and painting to present fragmented, anatomical forms that challenge the viewer's gaze.
This exhibition is significant for its refusal to treat vulnerability as a mere aesthetic trend or a rhetorical trope of fragility. By juxtaposing Amatruda’s themes of environmental hybridization with Giaccio Darias’s focus on historical subtraction and fragmentation, the show deconstructs the idea of the "normative body." It positions the human form not as a self-contained entity, but as an ambiguous, evolving site of relation and incompleteness, reflecting contemporary shifts in how identity and physical presence are understood in the art world.
