Within the evocative setting of Rome's Trastevere district, in the multipurpose Collezione Concreta space, Aqua Cruda is born. This multisensory project embodies the shared research of four Roman artists with diverse backgrounds, yet driven by a shared focus on primordial matter.
Artists Daniela and Simona Di Lascio, Laura Fusar Poli, and Maria Bernardini Pignataro engage with the anthropological categories of nature-culture, raw-cooked, indeterminate-determinate, in an interplay of signs, archetypes, symbols, and natural elements, in an obsessive search for an ancient matrix. Thus, an experiential space is proposed in which water, clay, and sound and visual inputs create an interior to be experienced, understood, and interpreted. Visible and invisible references to anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss and philosopher Emilio Garroni. Curated by Maria Bernardini Pignataro.
