Maddalena Rossetti's 'Anime in scatola' exhibition explores identity through handmade wooden boxes
Maddalena Rossetti's exhibition, 'Anime in scatola,' showcases around one hundred handcrafted wooden boxes adorned with photographic images of painted modifications on diverse materials. Located at Chiesa di San Vittore e Quaranta Martiri in Milan, the exhibition will be open until April 14. This installation merges painting and photography, illustrating Rossetti's artistic journey. Critic Vera Agosti notes its personal yet universal themes, engaging with existential philosophy and art therapy. The boxes represent identity and memory, incorporating elements like paper scraps and notes.
