Anna Capolupo's Artistic Residency at FACTO in Montelupo Fiorentino
During a residency at FACTO in Montelupo Fiorentino from August to September 2019, artist Anna Capolupo transformed her style by moving beyond the canvas, embracing risk and exploration. Her work, titled 'Un motivo costante,' explores themes of emergence, isolation, and immersion, using spray paint and found objects. The residency culminated in an exhibition accompanied by a text by Christian Caliandro, who reflects on Capolupo's fearless approach and the feminine principle of constructive courage. The project rejects imitation and representation, instead embracing noise, silence, and everyday moments.
