Alejandro Cesarco's Second Solo Show at Raffaella Cortese in Milan
Uruguayan artist Alejandro Cesarco (Montevideo, 1975) presents his second solo exhibition at Galleria Raffaella Cortese in Milan. The show employs photography, video, prints, and text to explore memory and personal experience. One work features photographic reproductions of pages from Sigmund Freud's collected works that belonged to the artist's father, probing the relationship with a parent through psychoanalytic texts. Video works depict intimate conversations between lovers and a person immersed in recollection, reflecting on the uncontrollable flow of past thoughts. The exhibition also includes prints and a descriptive list of all drawings from the psychoanalytic text 'On not Being Able to Paint', which addresses creativity and its impediments. The works engage in dialogue across images, video, writing, and psychoanalysis, creating an intimate and emotional atmosphere that invites viewers to contemplate their own memories and lived experiences.
