Anna Franceschini's 'What Happened to the Girl?' at MEGA Milan
Anna Franceschini (born 1979 in Pavia, lives in Milan) presents the second display of her project 'What Happened to the Girl?' at MEGA in Milan, running until January 20, 2017. The work continues her investigation into the fragmented and fetishized exhibition of the body through shop windows, initiated at the Stratta confectionery in Turin. Franceschini inscribes the search for a physicality and wholeness of the female image into the dissemination of its performative rendition, inserting mannequins, locks of hair, eyes, eyelashes, fake hands, and synthetic lights. The circular movement of some display bases shows the ephemeral end of perfection. The exhibition is part of a series of displays dedicated to the project. The text references Sigmund Freud's 'The Interpretation of Dreams' to frame the dreamlike scenario.
