Antonio Biasiucci's 'Archetipi' Opens at Reggia di Caserta with Over 300 Photographs
At the Reggia di Caserta, Antonio Biasiucci, who hails from Dragoni and was born in 1961, showcases 'Archetipi,' an exhibition comprising over 300 photographs and installations that explore themes of humanity, nature, and memory. This event, organized by the Museo della Reggia in collaboration with Gallerie d'Italia – Intesa Sanpaolo and Opera Laboratori, is open until November 30. The exhibition title pays homage to Biasiucci's earlier work, 'Arca,' displayed at Gallerie d'Italia in Turin in 2024. Attendees will climb the 116 marble steps of the Scalone Reale, encountering pieces such as 'Insula' (2025), 'Corpo ligneo' (2021), and 'Magma' (1987–1995). The exhibition also features multivisions, artist's books, and a unique installation of plates crafted by his father. Biasiucci shares insights about his identity crisis and future projects in an interview.
