Susanna Baumgartner, Medicare il caso / Treat the case, 2022
White bronze, 15 x 15 x 14 cm
The exhibition Inner Geographies, curated by Carla Burani, features works on paper by Susanna Baumgartner, Simone Pellegrini, and Evelyne Postic — three established artists in the contemporary art scene.
Works within this exhibition explore artists' personal poetics emerging from an inner space-time, as expressions of the unconscious, reinterpreted and structured through both ancient and familiar symbols. These narrate imaginary and fantastical journeys, singular yet universal cosmogonies. It is a voyage beyond, along cultural and codified routes, in search of subtle balances on the ridge between two worlds — where opposing forces meet, forms evolve, grow, and undergo metamorphosis.
