Berlinde De Bruyckere's 'Aletheia' at Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo

The Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Turin presents 'Aletheia', a solo exhibition by Belgian artist Berlinde De Bruyckere (born 1964 in Ghent). The show departs from her recognizable distorted human and animal forms, instead featuring monumental, ossified piles of skin-like materials on pallets, evoking a tannery or slaughterhouse. Industrial lamps and salt-covered floors reinforce the cold, abattoir-like atmosphere. The exhibition includes the totemic horse sculpture 'Palindroom' (2019) and culminates in a triptych combining skin, wax, rags, and wallpaper, recalling Chaim Soutine's painted animal carcasses. Critic Claudia Santeroni draws on Pietro Conte's book 'In carne e cera' to discuss wax as a substitute for flesh, creating a cycle of resemblance and disappearance. The exhibition runs at the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Turin.
