Calixto Ramírez and Filippo Berta's Double Solo on Performance at smART Roma
The exhibition 'Una Sola Moltitudine' at smART in Rome presents a double solo show by Calixto Ramírez and Filippo Berta, exploring performance through photography. Ramírez (born 1980 in Reynosa) focuses on solitary, mimetic rituals, as seen in 'Tana libera tutti!' (2016), where he interacts with the Parco Virgiliano near smART. Berta (born 1977 in Treviglio) emphasizes the subversive power of everyday gestures in shared rituals, exemplified by 'Presente!' (2016), which depicts children playing and crushing a brick, representing suppressed animality in adults. The show was reviewed by Rossella Della Vecchia.
