Bruna Esposito's 'giganti miniature' at Rome's Museo delle Civiltà
Bruna Esposito's exhibition, 'giganti miniature, ipotesi circa il museo e note sul carnevale,' is currently on display at Rome's Museo delle Civiltà (MUCIV). This showcase features 18 unexecuted exhibition concepts developed during her two-year Research Fellowship, emphasizing the museum's Prehistory and Folk Arts collections. Esposito draws a comparison between the diminutive artifacts and the vastness of the museum's architecture. Curators Matteo Lucchetti and Andrea Viliani commend her insights on historical accountability. Among the realized projects is 'Pace armata' (2023), a 12-meter-high papier-mâché figure crafted by Alessandro Avanzini for the 150th Viareggio Carnival, which is captured in a video. The exhibition, which opened during Carnival, includes geometric shapes and confetti representing chaos, and will be on view until August 31.
