Chiara Camoni's Enchanted Garden at Pirelli HangarBicocca

Pirelli HangarBicocca in Milan presents the largest-ever exhibition of Italian artist Chiara Camoni, transforming the Shed space into a magical garden inspired by late-Renaissance Italian gardens and Etruscan culture. The show features over a decade of her work, including ceramic vases, Serpentesse sculptures, Sisters figures, and vegetal prints. Camoni, born in Piacenza in 1974 and based in Seravezza, Tuscany, collaborates with friends and family in her creative process, emphasizing collective creation and humble materials like clay, dried flowers, and natural stones. Key works include 12 human-sized Sisters sculptures holding candles, Vasi Farfalla (butterfly vases) inspired by Etruscan canopic jars, and Serpentesse made from stone scales or ceramic bowls. The exhibition also includes a transformed antique cart used as a curiosity library. Camoni's practice is rooted in ecofeminism, nature, and ancient symbolism, with a focus on the transformative power of materials and shared moments of creation.
