Midriasis, Casa Museo Mario Praz (2011) Curated by Chiara Stefani e Manuela Pacella.
On the occasion of the seventh edition of the Contemporary Day promoted by AMACI in 2011, the artist presents the Midriasis - Cajas Habitadas project at the Mario Praz Museum which was born from the desire to activate a dialogue with the splendid spaces of the house museum through emotions, memory and family affections, themes particularly dear to the artist. The project borrows a medical term related to a dilated pupil disease (mydriasis), to suggest the need for a closer look at the perception of emotions. Midriasis - Cajas Habitadas consists of interventions from an artist's book and small Cajas Habitadas (inhabited boxes) from the emotions that the environments have aroused in her, from nostalgia to fantasy, from loneliness to death, to rebirth. Apparently normal boxes, made of raw wood, which interact with the viewer through the reactivation of the senses (touch, sight, smell) and therefore of emotions.
