Elisabetta Di Sopra's Maternal Care Exhibition in Bari
Elisabetta Di Sopra, a video artist from Pordenone (born 1969), explores caregiving from a gendered perspective in her exhibition at Muratcentoventidue in Bari. Her work emphasizes maternal care, featuring a double projection of a female figure assisting a newborn and an elderly person, highlighting emotional and ancestral dynamics. Another video, 'Quando ci sarà qualcuno in grado di sorreggermi,' reverses roles as children support an inert mother, culminating in a redemptive family photo.
