Bruno Salvatore Latella's 'Antrum Oximory' Opens at Pastis in Turin

exhibition · 2026-04-24

On April 23, 2026, Bruno Salvatore Latella's solo exhibition 'Antrum Oximory' opened at Pastis in Turin, part of the Casa Accademia 2026 program by Accademia Albertina di Belle Arti di Torino. Curated by Gabriele Romeo with co-curator Nina Panico, the show explores the paradox of the oxymoron as a structural condition of the contemporary. The installation is a tripartite journey between two poles: Cupere (desire) and Obedi (obedience), framed within the Anthropocene. Latella uses hybrid anthropomorphic figures printed on adhesive PVC, treated with Vantablack and Maimeri gold acrylic, creating an unstable perceptual field. Central work 'Black Sun' is a backlit Quadruslight that functions as a symbolic nucleus, absorbing light and generating a phenomenological void. Romeo describes it as an 'epistemic tension' device. The exhibition references Yuval Noah Harari's 'Homo Deus' and integrates 'artivism'. The space presents a binary system where light and darkness, violence and well-being flow in parallel without resolution, emphasizing the impossibility of redemption. The show runs as part of Casa Accademia 2026.
