Biography

Born in Rome in 1990. Her work concerns the image – understood as an external form – and the dynamics through which it determines and constructs the perception of the world. The latter, fragmented and recomposed, opposed and dual, appears as the territory of encounter-clash between real and virtual. The result is a hybrid context within which she searches for contradictory elements and labile boundaries as well as spaces of continuity. The images that interest her are precisely those that question the individual’s certainties regarding presumed transition zones from the real to the virtual.

In 2014 she graduated from the “Pietro Vannucci” Academy of Fine Arts in Perugia, in 2016 she obtained a Master’s degree from the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna and in 2017 the CFA Curator from the European Institute of Design. Among the solo/duo exhibitions: “Crungus classification: unknown” at Parentesi Tonde (2024, Palermo), “Fotoelettrico” at MA PROJECT (2023, Perugia) and “Contenere il cielo” at Chippendale studio (2020, Milan). Among the collective ones: “Secondo Livello” Otto Gallery (2016, Bologna), “Quando cade la magia rimane la disinvoltura” Spazio in Situ (2020, Rome), “MATERIA NOVA. Roma, ultime generazioni a confronto” GAM (2021, Rome), “The Milky Way 06 VERA 2022” Alessandra Bonomo Gallery (2022, Rome).

The Voyage Out

Group show – The Voyage Out

Milan, October 2024 – A.MORE gallery presents from 9 October to 9 November 2024, the group exhibition “The Voyage Out” with works by Marco Bacoli, Margaux Bricler, Alessandra Cecchini and Vittorio Valiante, curated by Domenico de Chirico.

Born with the aim first of exploring the human mind and then outlining research on the experience of subjectivity, the collective exhibition in question borrows its title from Virginia Woolf’s first novel – “The Cruise”. Metaphorically speaking, a tumultuous journey on the open sea that pushes us to face complex topics such as the complexity of human psychology, the flow of consciousness, growth and the consequent discovery of ourselves and others, love, aspirations, desires, vulnerability of life and criticism of society. The exhibition pays particular attention to the current female condition, which oscillates between the essential desire for independence and the more current misoneist education than ever.

The works of the four artists dialogue with each other, revealing a mix of internal conflicts whose emotional and mental states seem to be particularly sensitive.

“The concept of elsewhere, both refuge and trap, is inextricably linked both to the inevitable subjective experience and to the necessary psychological reconnaissance – states the curator Domenico de Chirico -. And so it is that among stiffened fragments of human bodies, relics of centaurs, nudity, unusual transparencies, routine psychoses, graceful suspensions and fleeting or even erased faces, the heterogeneous collective exhibition “The Voyage Out” is born and shaped, at the hands of Marco Bacoli, Margaux Bricler, Alessandra Cecchini and Vittorio Valiante”.
