Avvassena's IDENTITIES at Starhotels Ritz Milan: Fingerprints Become Collective Portraits
The Starhotels Ritz in Milan hosts IDENTITIES, a project by Avvassena curated by Matteo Chincarini, exploring identity through randomly collected fingerprints. Printed on reflective surfaces, the fingerprints merge with viewers' reflections, creating a dialogue between strangers. A large composition features fragmented fingerprints reassembled into a contemporary gallery. A participatory work, starting from the artist's right thumbprint, invites visitors to add their own traces. An event on July 9 at 6:30 PM will feature curator Matteo Chincarini, Barberina Rodino, Lavinia Giuliani, and Avvassena discussing identity, memory, and collectivity.
