Daniela Perego's 'Altrove' at Museo Nuova Era in Bari Explores Memory and Absence Through Daisies
Daniela Perego (b. 1961, Florence) presents her latest works at Museo Nuova Era in Bari in the exhibition 'Altrove'. The show centers on daisies as a leitmotif, using them in various media to explore memory, absence, and transformation. A crocheted cotton daisy carpet installation titled 'Arrivederci' covers the central wall, while dried daisies on red and black tiles form the 'Passaggio' series. Perego describes the daisy as representing what is gone but transformed. The exhibition reflects on the facets of memory and the desire for time reversibility, leading to a reappropriation of the self.
