Nude Beatrice Pediconi
z2o Sara Zanin è lieta di presentare Nude, la terza personale in galleria di Beatrice Pediconi, a cura di Cecilia Canziani.
Pediconi (Roma, 1972 – vive e lavora a New York) è un’artista multimediale la cui ricerca è da anni legata a una pratica interdisciplinareche attraversa medium tradizionali per approdare a inedite soluzioni formali ed espressive. Nella mostra Nude, che segna il suo ritorno in Italia dopo cinque anni. Pediconi presenta in anteprima un ampio corpus di lavori che riflette sullo statuto di fotografia, a partire dalla sua decostruzione.
“Untitled agisce come il testimone di un processo di cui resta solo un’impronta, come testimonianza di una perdita: un gesto che riflette sull’assenza di memoria storica e sul distacco personale. Il disegno è dunque il risultato di una migrazione, e la sua traccia volatile e minimale resta in bianco, come l’ultimo ed unico testimone di una storia. Untitled diventa quindi il mezzo per lasciare un segno come prova della nostra esistenza.” Beatrice Pediconi – Nude
