Io sono Io. Io sono Me
Galleria Tiziana Di Caro presents Io sono Io. Io sono Me, the fourth solo exhibition by Tomaso Binga (alias Bianca Pucciarelli Menna, Salerno, 1931) held at the gallery, opening on Friday, May 23, 2025, at 11:00 AM until 12, September, 2025 The project spans the artist’s entire creative time frame, following the thread of writing as a sign or narrative element which, throughout a practice now spanning over fifty years, unfolds in various forms, insisting on a principle the artist has always proclaimed and warded: writing must carry a subliminal intent, it must operate independently of the meanings it expresses or the sounds produced by each word. In this sense, writing becomes “silent writing.” The title of the exhibition is borrowed from a 1977 work, a photographic diptych in which handwriting is embedded in the image and frames the body through what Binga defines as “living writing.” Io sono Io. Io sono Me is a work where the repeated use of the personal pronoun indicates a reclaiming of subjective identity, autonomy, and independence. It is precisely this autonomy and independence that Tomaso Binga has embodied throughout her career, never succumbing to trends, but instead advancing with determination and coherence, both artistically and personally.
