Elisa Sighicelli's Photographic Dialogue with Baroque at Palazzo Madama

exhibition · 2026-05-05

During Artissima week, Elisa Sighicelli opened 'Doppio Sogno' at Palazzo Madama in Turin, creating site-specific works inspired by Filippo Juvarra's architecture and its relationship with light. The exhibition unfolds through Baroque rooms, featuring photographs printed on satin to evoke materiality and fluidity. Sighicelli photographed the windows of the Juvarrian Veranda overlooking the Scalone d'onore at different times of day, resulting in two large triptychs and single works exploring reflection and transparency. The artist, born in Turin in 1968, combines her sculptural background with photography, seeking materiality in her images. The exhibition contrasts with another dialogue between ancient and contemporary art at OGR, which focused on Turin collecting.
