Adelisa Selimbašić's 'The Dancefloor' at z2o Sara Zanin, Rome

Adelisa Selimbašić's exhibition titled 'The Dancefloor,' curated by Michele Spinelli, is currently on display at z2o Sara Zanin in Rome. This collection of paintings explores the fine line between the visibility and exposure of the body. The monumental figures are depicted against soft pastel backdrops, with limbs intertwined. The exhibition's title draws inspiration from club culture as a political framework for non-normative identities. Selimbašić, who was born in Germany to Bosnian parents and grew up in Italy, now resides in New York, drawing influence from club environments. Utilizing photographs as a foundation, she applies glazes and direct brush techniques. Key pieces include 'Mousse al matcha verde brillante' (2026) and 'Virginia Slims' (2026). Lisa Blackman refers to her figures as 'affective bodies,' capable of conveying emotions and inviting other imagery.
