Mirco Denicolò's exhibition 'Le Voci dei Pozzi' (Voices from the Wells), which will be presented during Roma Art Week in the BACC Gallery, is a multimedia composition of Visual Poetry, Ceramic Narrative, and perhaps both.


The work is a dreamlike journey, capable of evoking wonders and disturbances from deep within. A poem to which the author gives form and dimension, first in the visual rhythm of his images on paper, then by making their own ceramic three-dimensionality. The regular shapes of the terracotta tiles, modelled, coloured, drawn and then photographed, are recomposed with the collage technique to give life to the multimedia illustration, which closes a complex and multidisciplinary figurative short-circuit.


Interweaving Italo Calvino's "Invisible Cities" with Giorgio Manganelli's stories, especially in that "Does Ascoli Piceno exist?", the author tells us a personal story. A new fire-eater, Mirco Denicolò places his 'The Voices from the Wells' on the shelves of the Soul, to propose them at the next performance.
