Gianfranco D'Alonzo Garibaldi's 'Home Sweet Home' Reimagines Installation as Unstable Architecture

Curated by Sabato Angiero, Gianfranco D'Alonzo Garibaldi's 'Home Sweet Home' at Galleria Gallerati in Rome reactivates a device from his 2016 exhibition 'Alone' without replicating it. The installation uses raw brick modules in a 4.80 × 3.80 meter space, arranged with slight asymmetries to destabilize perception. Six artworks at varying heights and a carpet mark spatial memory from the earlier show. The work problematizes dwelling, presenting space as continuously negotiated rather than given. The title invokes domestic comfort while the experience undermines it, creating cognitive dissonance. The gallery becomes a critical device for disorientation, and the work interrogates representation itself, offering no stable images but an interstitial zone between perception and thought. D'Alonzo Garibaldi's practice meditates on nonlinear temporality, with 2016 not as origin but as an ongoing condition, and 2026 as reactivation rather than conclusion.
