Franco Losvizzero's Magic Rabbit App-Art at Pio Monti Gallery

exhibition · 2026-05-05

Eleven works by Franco Losvizzero (Rome, 1973) are on view at Pio Monti gallery, encapsulating over a decade of artistic research centered on the white rabbit motif. The rabbit references Alice in Wonderland or an archetype from the unconscious, explored through psychomagic techniques learned from Jodorowsky. Eleven nude models, painted white, have posed over the years. The number eleven symbolizes transition and transformation, echoed by the Porta Alchemica in Piazza Vittorio that frames his hybrid, immaginal creature. The horse is another recurring topos. The highlight is The Magic Rabbit, described as the world's first app-artwork, which uses a smartphone to make the white rabbit appear anywhere, democratizing access to the hermetic door of our times.
