Ann Hirsch's Debut Italian Solo Show at Gallleriapiù
Gallleriapiù in Bologna presents the first Italian solo exhibition of American artist Ann Hirsch (b. 1985), whose work explores the intersection of the body and technology. The show is divided into two sections: the first features paintings from her Iceberg series, depicting her cravings, desires, and fears, where the visible tip symbolizes a clean, serene surface while submerged elements represent the uninhibited unconscious and subconscious. The second section comprises video installations titled Cuts, in which Hirsch examines the online pornography industry by categorizing videos by genre and re-editing them with audio and visual cuts, addressing sex and pornography in a direct, explicit manner without political correctness.
