Kochan
Italie
2018Invited Artist
Alessandra Calò mostly works with archive images, photographs that she found, and literary texts. Her discourse is built on the combination of images and texts that gives birth to a new image. In Kochan, the artist used self-portraits for the first time and contemplates the body as a field for exploration. She established a dialogue between blueprints, maps and images to lead the way through a daily journey towards the assertion of our own identity.
With the support of the Istituto Italiano di Cultura.
