Eugenio Tibaldi's 'Temporary Landscape' at PAV Torino
Eugenio Tibaldi, born in Alba in 1977 and currently residing in Turin, unveils 'Temporary Landscape. Erbari mappe diari' at PAV (Parco Arte Vivente) in Turin, centering on ecological themes. The exhibition showcases a vibrant array of paper jungles, impressions, and collages derived from the graphic diary 'Heidi', crafted during the pandemic. Among the highlights are sketches of utopian cities, a beach scene composed of glued photographs, and three panels titled 'Abusive Garden', illustrating nature intermingled with human waste. A dimly lit room features post-apocalyptic birds inspired by Farid al-Din 'Attar's poem, along with Tibaldi's pandemic video. The courtyard presents a pool-like installation addressing post-consumerism, while the concluding room reflects on Addis Ababa, symbolizing Western exploitation. The exhibition explores themes of environmentalism, post-colonialism, and human vulnerability.
