Beatrice Marchi's Video Installations at Museo Burel in Belluno
In March, the seventh exhibition season of Museo Burel, overseen by Daniela Zangrando, commenced with the theme 'Masquerade.' The exhibition showcases the work of Beatrice Marchi, who was born in 1986 in Gallarate and currently resides in Berlin. Marchi, a former student of Alberto Garutti and Jutta Koether, presents two video installations, including a new piece. The first installation, 'When Katie Fox met the Evil Turtle' (2022), features a turtle with a damaged shell pursuing a guilt-ridden character, drawing inspiration from Leonor Fini and Sepik masks. The second video, 'When will we meet again' (2024), creates ethereal settings while observing dogs, reflecting on themes of oppression and conflict, with Zangrando highlighting that the dogs represent individuals living under dictatorship and violence.
