Gaia De Megni's "La Scia" at Société Interludio in Cambiano: Cinema Without Images

Gaia De Megni, who hails from Santa Margherita and was born in 1993, is showcasing her inaugural solo exhibition titled "La Scia" at Société Interludio in Cambiano. Curated by Vincenzo Estremo, this exhibition will be on display until October 18, 2026. Visitors will find the gallery's windows shrouded in black film, creating an environment where intense light plays with perception. Drawing inspiration from Anthony McCall's "Solid Light Works," De Megni's installation evokes memory through a beam of light. Additionally, three large silks feature stills from Alfred Hitchcock's "Stage Fright" (1950), presenting isolated frames as suspended entities. Estremo notes that this transforms the gallery into a cinematic space devoid of images. The exhibition also relates to De Megni's previous performance "Sunday Best," which involved a boxer and a light beam, delving into the interplay between body and image.
