exhibition · 2026-05-04

Andi Kacziba (Hungary, 1974), a former model and fashion art director, presents a solo exhibition in Turin curated by Angela Madesani. The show explores the intimate and universal female experience of physical decay and inadequacy due to aging, reimagined positively through body art. A new series of Polaroids shows the artist in a frontal pose with gold injected into her facial wrinkles. Other works feature gold removed via a face cast and displayed under glass as a precious object.
