Elena Bellantoni's First Turin Exhibition at Recontemporary
Elena Bellantoni (born 1975 in Vibo Valentia) presents her first solo exhibition in Turin at Recontemporary, featuring works from 2015 onward. The show includes videos, performances, and vinyl records, with the space visually connecting interior works to the urban environment. Notable pieces are 'The Wolf and the Fox,' a tango exploring power dynamics, and 'Ho annegato il mare,' a choral portrait of Palermo's vibrant yet concrete-choked cityscape. Bellantoni's practice uses video as narrative synthesis of physical and relational immersion, emphasizing the body as a tool to inscribe space and address urgent issues. The exhibition is curated by Emanuela Termine, an art historian and curator with a PhD from Sapienza University of Rome.
