Giada Fiorindi and Federico Floriani's 'Lemon in My Eyes' at Veniceinabottle

exhibition · 2026-05-05

The exhibition 'Lemon in My Eyes' at Veniceinabottle in Venice features artists Giada Fiorindi and Federico Floriani. The show presents mirror sculptures with manga-inspired erotic engravings and baroque-rococo decorations, creating a bittersweet 'boudoir effect' in a contemporary style. Yellow lemons scattered on the floor provide a sour counterpoint to the sweet, kitsch aesthetic. The exhibition draws on the tradition of Murano glassmaking, as evoked by writer Isabella Panfido's book 'Lagunario', which reflects on the historical and alchemical art of glassblowing in Venice. The display uses traditional engraving and construction techniques, contrasting modern imagery with ornate frames and drapery.
