Elena Modorati's 'Antike' Explores Time and Archaeology in Milan

Elena Modorati's exhibition 'Antike' at Lorenzo Vatalaro's antique shop in Milan presents works that explore time, stratification, and sedimentation. The show features objects dipped in wax, freezing temporal flows. Modorati's pieces, such as 'Per G' (2022) with waxed gauzes and photographic prints, and 'Arula', a fragile altar, create silent dialogues with archaeological details. The artist states, 'Every object is an object of time. Apparent temporal distance can be reread through density and accumulation.' The exhibition reflects on how the past leaves signs to be interpreted, with life and death marking existence.
