Alessandra Calò's Secret Garden at Cubo Gallery in Parma
Alessandra Calò (born 1977 in Taranto) presents 'Secret garden' at Cubo in Parma, an installation merging photographic works on glass negative plates with collected branches and herbs. The artist reveals herself across multiple layers, creating a short circuit between lights and voices that reinterpret lived lives. The neutral space of Cubo transforms into a tangle of twisted branches, with backlit boxes appearing as ghosts of a crowded forest. Literature narrates possible stories featuring unknown protagonists revived through underground authors such as Rachele Bastreghi, Letizia Cesarini, Angela Baraldi, and Mara Redeghieri. The work expresses a shared sensibility through the construction of a microcosm strictly forbidden to men.
