Giovanni Giaretta's Variations on a Nightshift at Tiziana Di Caro
Giovanni Giaretta (Padua, 1983) explores perception and expression in his solo exhibition Variations on a Nightshift at Galleria Tiziana Di Caro in Naples. The show features the film La casa, shot in Louisiana, which montages postcolonial homes in rhythmic sequences altering scale and perspective to invite a cinematic fantasy approach. Interpretive discourse continues with negative photographs of ancient oxidized mirrors, alluding to unknown worlds and ancestral mythologies. The final work, The Nightshift, uses a voiceover recounting the artist's own experience as a night porter, blurring reality and fiction. The exhibition runs until a date not specified in the source.
