Chris Pig's Isolation Portrait Exhibition in Cagliari

The exhibition 'Isolation Portrait' by Sardinian-born, London-based photographer Chris Pig is on view at the Fondazione per l’arte Bartoli Felter in Cagliari, curated by Roberta Vanali. The series, created in 2020 during the first phase of the pandemic, addresses themes of homophobia, racism, inequality, and socio-political issues through a Pop Art and 1950s Hollywood cinema aesthetic. Pig, who has a background in fashion design and tailoring, uses vintage fabrics and elaborate sets to create a surreal tension between reality and illusion. The installation is described as synthetic and linear, encouraging viewers to scrutinize details. Pig states that as an introvert, she uses her work to express opinions on topics close to her heart.
