Gilbert Garcin and Cristina Vatielli Dual Exhibition at Galleria del Cembalo, Rome
Galleria del Cembalo in Rome presents a dual exhibition featuring French photographer Gilbert Garcin (born 1929 in La Ciotat) and Italian artist Cristina Vatielli (born 1983 in Rome), running until June 18, 2016. Garcin's series 'Mister G.', curated by Paola Stacchini Cavazza, showcases his constructed miniature sets where a cardboard silhouette of an ordinary man in a coat navigates surreal landscapes, exploring themes of time, solitude, and absurdity. Vatielli's 'Le donne di Picasso', curated by Annalisa D'Angelo, uses self-portraiture to channel the women loved by Picasso, creating an ontology of vulnerability and addressing stolen subjectivity. Both artists employ photography's ambiguity to move from personal fiction to universal reflections on reality.
