Ambra Abbaticola and Grazia Amelia Bellitta Dual Exhibition in Lecce
A dual exhibition titled 'Some roses have no fragrance' by photographers Ambra Abbaticola and Grazia Amelia Bellitta is on view in Lecce. The show, curated by Nicola Zito, departs from their usual photographic practice to explore the body through subtraction. Abbaticola presents soap casts molded on her own body, suspended like fetishes on embroidered cords. Bellitta contributes an audio installation featuring human breathing rhythms, alongside a visual disorientation created by UV light. The exhibition space is intentionally filled with a strange soap smell and UV rays, creating a rarefied atmosphere.
