Bagliato and Grosche Explore Disappearing Identities in Polignano a Mare

The exhibition 'Sospensioni temporanee' at Polignano a Mare features Mariantonietta Bagliato and Julie Grosche, who use contrasting methods—manual for Bagliato and technological for Grosche—to explore human representation. Bagliato suspends fabric creatures from the ceiling with distorted anatomical proportions, precariously balanced by threads. Grosche employs morphologically identical avatars that communicate through sounds or nostalgic melodies. The title references the web term for temporarily blocking a user, linking to themes of disappearance and banned identities, whether in flaccid bodies or virtual replicants.
