Italian Feminist Photography Exists And Is Strong

Oct 3, 2024 | collater.al | Giorgia Massari

If photography and art in general have historically been attributed to great male personalities, there is a large part – more hidden certainly – in which the role of women has been fundamental, but overshadowed by a patriarchal culture that prevented them from emerging equally. Starting with the Donata Pizzi Collection, the Fondazione Sabe per l’Arte highlights Italian feminist photography of the last fifty years.

Through techniques such as tufting and weaving, Kent reflects on contemporary challenges of existence, particularly the way social media and online life affect self-perception. Her art is deeply rooted in her personal experience of complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) and autism, but also embraces the collective anxieties that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Anna Hoyle Paints Books That Do Not Exist

Sep 24, 2024 | collater.al | Giorgia Massari

Anna Hoyle‘s paintings are not what they seem at first glance. What might look like vintage book covers or literary classics actually conceal surreal titles and irreverent images, such as dogs vomiting or sexual references. Behind these amusing creations lies a profound reflection on contemporary culture, the absurdity of everyday life and our relationship with consumerism.

Sep 22, 2024 | collater.al | Giorgia Massari

At first glance, the OVA cabinet collection does not immediately appear to be a piece of furniture. The soft, spherical shapes that cover its surface could be mistaken for a textile sculpture or an abstract installation. Yet, behind hundreds of hand-stitched shapes hides a secret: a fully functional cabinet, ready to reveal itself with a simple opening.

These Are Not Writings On Tarnished Glass

Sep 4, 2024 | collater.al | Giorgia Massari

The works of Jochen Mühlenbrink (1980) fall like a glove on this rainy day anticipating autumn. His creations, in fact, literally look like drawings made with the finger on fogged glass, but the surprising thing is to discover that they are oil paintings on canvas. Perfectly executed trompe l’oeil, capable of fooling anyone. Mühlenbrink is a master of illusion, known for his hyper-realistic paintings that explore the limits of perception.

The super-controversial group, known for its provocative works, makes an irreverent gesture and literally cuts the lawn, leaving the chair with its blades of grass cut clean off.
