Giovanni Borga Discusses 'Living through personal crisis' at Galleria Weber & Weber, Turin

Giovanni Borga, who was born in Schio in 1998 and currently resides in Venice, has launched his inaugural solo exhibition titled 'Living through personal crisis' at Galleria Weber & Weber in Turin. This showcase delves into cognitive overload through various mediums, including text, installation, and sound, utilizing commonplace items to reveal underlying structural tensions. Borga's work incorporates loops, repetition, and obsessive actions, leading to physical effects such as tendinitis from replicating self-help book illustrations. In his piece 'Willie Pete' (2024), a treadmill features a freeze-frame of a white phosphorus bomb, drawing attention to its legal status and ramifications in international law. Borga critiques Irene Galuppo's article from May 20, 2025, on Italian contemporary art, noting that numerous artists address larger issues within a context of institutionalized precarity.
