Carmela De Falco's Site-Specific Works Transform 15th-Century Palazzo Como in Naples

At Palazzo Como, a 15th-century palace in Naples, artist Carmela De Falco (born 1994, Avellino) presents a solo exhibition curated by Gianluca Riccio and Alessandra Troncone. The show integrates sculptures, sound installations, and site-specific interventions throughout the Museo Filangieri, engaging with the collection and the building's paradoxical history—the palace was moved 20 meters in the late 19th century for street widening. De Falco's works explore ambiguity, daily micro-gestures, and the nature of truth in memory and illusion. Highlights include 'Camicie identiche' (identical shirts made marble-like with resin), 'Aperto e Chiuso' (door handles on a spiral staircase), 'Ritratto' (a mannequin that interacts with painted portraits), and 'Fuga dalla forma' (thermosoluble ink projections on ceramics). The exhibition also references founder Gaetano Filangieri's Enlightenment-era vision of bridging fine and applied arts. The show runs through an unspecified date in 2024.
