COMUNICATO STAMPA
Galleria Monty&Company,
“We’re so similar yet so different…”, a trivial statement referring to the artist. In “AI - Artificial Intelligence”, a Spielberg film inspired by Stanley Kubrick, the young boy protagonist meets some wild and loose “artificial” beings, who are trying to escape their own destruction after having been used by a corrupt humanity. That’s about all I remember about that beautiful film, not the only one populated by humanoid creatures more sensitive than humans themselves. Lyman Frank Baum, the author of “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” was biographically geared towards fantastical stories. Strange and unusual, in his choices and ambitions, he described a strange, perfect and bizarre world. These last three words contain the world of the artist that generates and creates new forms, an invisible text with a perfect plot, faltering only to who is not able or can’t listen. “…because the plot of the future is written in his work”. The butterflies of Marina Haas and the trophies of Gianluca Esposito are zoomorphic forms generated through love. They listen… only in appearance immobile…and accept willingly. But what? They accept to inhabit and live in the world that the artist has constructed for them. Marina’s enormous butterflies seem to be suspended in a dream state waiting to free themselves and land briefly in another dream of hope. And so it is for Gianluca’s trophies, that move their eyes, when they have them, and are susceptible to every movement. Patient and questioning in their rudimental and noble stillness. How many words to simply say that the artist’s world, “so similar and yet so different” exists and comes to life in the “mind” of the things it produces.
