Tra controllo e fragilità: le storie invisibili di Martina Zanin in mostra a Roma
Martina Zanin’s solo exhibition, "EVERY CARESS, A BLOW," has opened at the Fondazione Pastificio Cerere in Rome. Curated by Antonio Grulli, the show features a multidisciplinary range of works including photography, bronze sculpture, and immersive installations that explore the thin line between protection and threat. Through recurring motifs like falconry gloves and symbolic animals such as the hawk and the hare, Zanin investigates the invisible power dynamics and rituals inherent in relationships.
The exhibition is significant for its psychological depth, transforming personal vulnerability into a universal architectural experience. By utilizing materials like bronze and large-scale structures like the "Rabbit Hole" installation, Zanin moves beyond simple imagery to create a physical dialogue about control, instinct, and the cyclical nature of predator-prey dynamics. The show marks a sophisticated moment for the 1994-born artist, solidifying her place in the contemporary Italian scene through her ability to blend intimate narratives with rigorous formal discipline.
