Agnese Guido's '158' at FL Gallery Explores Anthropomorphic Objects

exhibition · 2026-05-04

Agnese Guido's exhibition '158' at FL Gallery in Milan presents a series of anthropomorphic objects that blur the line between the logical and the mysterious. The artist, born in Lecce in 1982, invites viewers into her mind to perceive objects as emotional beings. The show features surreal creatures reminiscent of Buzzati and 1990s animated spots, as well as dreamlike Lynchian scenarios. A centerpiece is a large vagina/"motherboard" giving birth to obsolete items like floppy disks and bulky cell phones alongside tablets, highlighting a short-circuit between daily technology and Guido's analog approach. The title '158' is described not as a title but a number, emphasizing the measurement of distance between us and our surroundings. The exhibition runs at FL Gallery, curated by Federico Luger.
