Luce dietro tracce incompiute
Mariana Castillo Deball
October 19th, 2023 – September 8th, 2024
Free admission
“Luce dietro tracce incompiute” is the textile installation by Mexican artist Mariana Castillo Deball, which with its monumental dimensions welcomes visitors inside the heart of the Museum, the Agora. As part of the museum’s vision aimed at contemporary themes and practices, the MUDEC – Museum of Cultures presents for fall 2023 its second site-specific project, which is a teaser for the upcoming exhibition Exposure, planned for March 2024.
Working with the collections of MUDEC and Fondazione Ratti, Mariana Castillo Deball selected twelve textile fragments from different geographies and periods of time, based on which she subsequently created her own watercolors. These images were then printed in large format on fabric and assembled with additional textile elements at the workshops of NABA – New Academy of Fine Arts – together with a group of students directed by Salvatore Averzano. In this way, three-dimensional “palimpsests” were made, shimmering with different meanings and stories.
