Anna Boghiguian's Studio Transforms Castello di Rivoli

The Castello di Rivoli presents a solo exhibition of Armenian-Egyptian artist Anna Boghiguian (born 1946, Cairo), featuring her handcrafted book ZYX-XYZ (1981–1986) with mixed media pages. The show expands into large-scale installations like A Play to Play (2013), inspired by Tagore's The Post Office, and The Salt Traders (2015), a sensory environment with painted canvases, boat fragments, and salt piles critiquing ecological crisis. Recent drawings and collages from her residency at Castello di Rivoli reference Nietzsche's defense of a horse in Turin. The exhibition traces Boghiguian's evolution from intimate artist books to immersive spatial works, combining painting, poetry, and encaustic technique to address themes of travel, colonialism, and environmental destruction.
