The installation reinterprets the Nativity as a narrative and theatrical device, detaching it from its religious function and transforming it into a space of symbolic proliferation. Through a constellation of human and non-human presences, deformed, fragmented and unstable bodies emerge from the depths of a meteorite that has crashed into the scene. The star of Bethlehem thus loses its role as a guiding light and promise, becoming a falling celestial body that generates fractures and transformations. A plurality of figures shares the experience of impact, dissolving narrative hierarchies and centrality. The painted backdrop expands this vision, breaking down the traditional iconography of the Nativity into fragments that intertwine the sacred and the profane, wonder and the uncanny. <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/57f473058c3a13964022787ec236c6568a74a093e62055a9a0abb6c959652a87/IMG_6818.JPG" data-mid="253889816" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/57f473058c3a13964022787ec236c6568a74a093e62055a9a0abb6c959652a87/IMG_6818.JPG" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4307d2e03a823293be2f74928ae26f44629fab9ae3bc2dce482c6948e86243ce/IMG_6823.JPG" data-mid="253889836" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4307d2e03a823293be2f74928ae26f44629fab9ae3bc2dce482c6948e86243ce/IMG_6823.JPG" /><img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/938284314a398c41f1fe79d07bfb8b2114bcf9065e081cb1c0d0ac9fbca53724/IMG_6859.JPG" data-mid="253889846" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/938284314a398c41f1fe79d07bfb8b2114bcf9065e081cb1c0d0ac9fbca53724/IMG_6859.JPG" /><img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/80042941780449e3660b41c2cee065a0ba0f1a68410c89d6e71f33923a9e128b/IMG_6881.JPG" data-mid="253889876" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/80042941780449e3660b41c2cee065a0ba0f1a68410c89d6e71f33923a9e128b/IMG_6881.JPG" /> ︎ https://melaniafusco.com/HOW-TO-BECOME-A-CHARACTER-RATHER-THAN-A-DELUSION Sat, 26 Oct 2024 16:40:05 +0000 melaniafusco https://melaniafusco.com/HOW-TO-BECOME-A-CHARACTER-RATHER-THAN-A-DELUSION ︎ Valentina occhi neri&nbsp; lunar hare skin, steel wires, variable dimensions. exibithion Errabunda -&nbsp;Museo Civico Romanazzi Carducci - Putignano (BA) A spin-off of How To Become a Character Rather Than a Delusion—a series of works made of eco-leather silhouettes fixed to the wall that reinterpret scandalous, perverse, and vicious figures from medieval frescoes—Valentina has detached herself from the wall to inhabit three-dimensional space. Her decision has generated an imbalance that wavers, a fragile oscillation. Now, as she struggles to remain upright, micro-movements can be glimpsed that imitate the imperceptible variations of a breathing body. Like a ghostly presence absorbed in its transition, poised between the desire to remain nailed to the wall and the urge to stand autonomously in space, Valentina bears witness to the precariousness, the difficulty, and the pain of inhabiting a dominant narrative and a shared space in which she cannot recognize herself. She feels off-balance, unstable, disharmonic, crumpled, disordered.

To do this he used his mother tongue: no official translation exists. I asked a Chinese friend to translate some fragments taken from the artist’s diary. Since he is not a translator, he returned to me a text in which the errors, made visual and perceptual, evoke the untranslatability of an intimate feeling and, at the same time, give voice to inner imbalance. From the text returned to me, I selected some words for the ability to describe the spirit of the time. The colors - gold and silver, usually associated with the sacred, or pastel shade - are used as a wrapper which reveals a message of a pain which is neglected, relatable and contemporary. <img width="2291" height="2976" width_o="2291" height_o="2976" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cacc4fce0f2aa926ecfa9b67da2b8c1eefa35b13da31d50ef2d7d3c2c35f405f/IMG-4583-copy.jpg" data-mid="56055886" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cacc4fce0f2aa926ecfa9b67da2b8c1eefa35b13da31d50ef2d7d3c2c35f405f/IMG-4583-copy.jpg" /><img width="2928" height="3300" width_o="2928" height_o="3300" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3e31ed22e41636b93cf8c0dbbffdb5e46d92cbf1e7d2255f4d7edfee4605b985/IMG_9781-copy.jpg" data-mid="56055899" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3e31ed22e41636b93cf8c0dbbffdb5e46d92cbf1e7d2255f4d7edfee4605b985/IMG_9781-copy.jpg" /><img width="2448" height="3132" width_o="2448" height_o="3132" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6f0d8ab126cf69c25eeb6da6351188a4c1fb634e8a7595fb1e8cb81093d013be/IMG-4598.jpg" data-mid="56055924" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6f0d8ab126cf69c25eeb6da6351188a4c1fb634e8a7595fb1e8cb81093d013be/IMG-4598.jpg" /> ︎ https://melaniafusco.com/Sugar-snap-pea Wed, 04 Dec 2019 15:44:22 +0000 melaniafusco https://melaniafusco.com/Sugar-snap-pea ︎ Sugar snap pea 201 / Performance with sugar candy machine / MALGRADO, during POLIS-BBQ for ARTE FIERA POLIS, Bologna (IT) As we move towards a fragmented space in which the personal representation appears to us as an aesthetic failure, the transition from digital to real seems darker and distant from the perfection of virtual image. In a basement a magical laboratory, machinery of a contemporary vanity is produced. Sugar, additive for definition, is considered precious for its processing capacity, aimed to confuse the taste and improve the performartive aspect of its container. During the action, the sugar is treated at different temperatures, the duration reveals the transitory aspect of the image: sugar shows its ephemeral condition. Just like any filter of any application of digital reproduction, sugar is the glossy ingredient that has been interposed between pure desire and its mystification. <img width="1200" height="800" width_o="1200" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6ae64b2f5cfd33f540f0f5b2bc422c17d6aa93c8a0b5a87d6a4ffb75a2fa922f/Schermata-2018-02-27-alle-17.39.17.png" data-mid="56053230" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6ae64b2f5cfd33f540f0f5b2bc422c17d6aa93c8a0b5a87d6a4ffb75a2fa922f/Schermata-2018-02-27-alle-17.39.17.png" /> <img width="1195" height="800" width_o="1195" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/15cb9d3555c98d378cb352ed344cd6eddab6660ed5013e69ade074f60cb66786/Schermata-2018-02-27-alle-17.39.54.png" data-mid="56053232" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/15cb9d3555c98d378cb352ed344cd6eddab6660ed5013e69ade074f60cb66786/Schermata-2018-02-27-alle-17.39.54.png" /> <img width="530" height="800" width_o="530" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0c5e12bda04dd618c1a0972189c4897868ebfc1e835233b2dd986501397931d0/Schermata-2018-02-27-alle-17.36.44.png" data-mid="56053244" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/530/i/0c5e12bda04dd618c1a0972189c4897868ebfc1e835233b2dd986501397931d0/Schermata-2018-02-27-alle-17.36.44.png" /><img width="1197" height="800" width_o="1197" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/19ca512a4ce81f252cb5def2ad7a64a3df7147592bca7ababa3558e9ea24c569/Schermata-2018-02-27-alle-17.49.13.png" data-mid="56053254" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/19ca512a4ce81f252cb5def2ad7a64a3df7147592bca7ababa3558e9ea24c569/Schermata-2018-02-27-alle-17.49.13.png" /><img width="533" height="800" width_o="533" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7ecb000129f486d0205cb286da8dcab1aa8d545f29b7f9d98a336f4a33def0d4/Schermata-2018-02-27-alle-17.36.22.png" data-mid="56053260" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/533/i/7ecb000129f486d0205cb286da8dcab1aa8d545f29b7f9d98a336f4a33def0d4/Schermata-2018-02-27-alle-17.36.22.png" /> ︎ https://melaniafusco.com/ALL-THE-WORDS-I-VE-SAID-TO-YOU-WAITING-FOR-THEM-TO-VANISH Wed, 04 Dec 2019 15:46:51 +0000 melaniafusco https://melaniafusco.com/ALL-THE-WORDS-I-VE-SAID-TO-YOU-WAITING-FOR-THEM-TO-VANISH ︎ Tutte le parole che ti ho detto, in attesa che svaniscano&nbsp;(All the words I’ve said to you, waiting for them to vanish) 2017 /&nbsp;Confetti cannon /&nbsp;900 pages of multicoloured A4 21x29,7 cm /&nbsp;FONDAZIONE BEVILACQUA LA MASA during I LAY DOWN TO SPLEEP AMONG THE MURDERERS, Venezia (IT) “The span of a week, a month, not to speak of a year, is something so difficult to grasp that some, near-desperate in the face of such an elusive vision, abandon themselves to a bleak fervour and commit unheard of acts in the hope of one day recalling something of an existence which flees them without allowing itself to be captured (...)” (Passages, Henri Michaux) The work visualizes the immateriality of the established relationships between the artists and the employees of Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation during 2016, the year in which I was selected for the annual residence. I have obtained confetti from 900 coloured sheets on which all the emails that were shared with the staff have been printed. Through a precise process of destruction, the energy obtained circulates thanks to a confetti's cannon. Due to its jet, the work temporarly occupies the white space of the gallery dedicated to my work, creating an image about the energy set in motion by the communication processes.
