Resti sensibili

‘Resti sensibili’ (Sensitive remains) is the summer group show at THEPÒSITO Art Space, the exhibition brings together the works of Laura Santamaria, Meri Tancredi, Sasha Toli and Chiara Ventura.

Each body leaves a trace. Not always visible, not always voluntary, but present. In what it touches, in what it crosses, in what remains. It is in this perceptive threshold, between contact and memory, between gesture and disappearance, that the exhibition moves. In the work of the artists on show the body withdraws from representation to manifest itself through its consequences: traces, signs, prints, absences which do not return the body as a form, but as a material memory, as a settled gesture, as a surface crossed by time.

The trace, as Georges Didi-Huberman writes, is «the inscription of history according to a specific way of understanding temporality, which the image conveys in its relationship with the past».
