What perspective will you bring to the exhibition?
Marta Franceschini: "Look, but don’t touch?"
An exploration of the exhibition through textiles and their sensory dimension. Surfaces, weaves, transparencies, layers and textures invite a close, almost tactile gaze, allowing us to perceive materials through our eyes. Textiles become a way to explore Lorenza Longhi’s works, focusing on their ability to awaken the desire to touch, approach and feel. A play between what is offered to the eye and what becomes even more desirable precisely because it cannot be touched.
