Adrian Paci's 'The people are missing' at Kaufmann Reperto, Milan

Adrian Paci's solo exhibition 'The people are missing' opened at Kaufmann Reperto in Milan during miart, coinciding with his show 'The Guardians' at Chiostri di Sant'Eustorgio. The exhibition explores the relationship between politics, individuality, and space, moving from the analysis of the massive subject to the individual. The video 'Interregnum' compiles moments from funerals of communist dictators from various nationalities, sourced from archives and national televisions, depicting the political body acting in sync with the regime's imposed will. The photographic series 'Malgrado Tutto' features writings on the walls of an Albanian prison cell, revealing inmates' confinement. A project room presents an old diesel shower dripping water into a white space, evoking an absent nude. The artist also created a Greek theater-like space with a double white wooden staircase for public use, though some critics find this didactic, as the relational dimension is already inherent in the installation.
