Alberto Fiorin and Anna Dormio's Dual Exhibition in Lecce
The dual solo exhibition 'Ruins and Reflexes' by Alberto Fiorin and Anna Dormio, curated by Mariagrazia De Giorgi and organized by the Kunstschau collective in Lecce, explores the Heraclitean synthesis of opposites, drawing on the classical dichotomy of Apollonian and Dionysian forces. Venetian sculptor Alberto Fiorin presents a work divided into two elements: a plaster ellipsoid crafted according to classical canons representing the Apollonian ideal, and a second part made of black Belgian marble depicting Dionysian chaos or the existential precariousness of the human condition. This sculpture conceptually dialogues with Anna Dormio's photographic series 'Shooting Sky,' which captures luminous sky gaps. Dormio's interventions on the photographs, made with an air gun, symbolize the impossibility of destroying the indestructible—a struggle against the logos that is lost from the start. The exhibition is held in Lecce, Italy.
