Giovanni Kronenberg's Wunderkammer at Galleria Sara Zanin, Rome
Giovanni Kronenberg (born 1974, Milan) presents a solo exhibition at Galleria Sara Zanin in Rome, transforming found objects into a contemporary Wunderkammer. The show features coal irons, late 19th-century pharmaceutical kits, rooster feathers, and dried legumes, which the artist recontextualizes through minimal interventions: an elastic band among feathers, silver granules in a pharmaceutical bottle, and a tiny ceramic hand on lava stone. His drawings explore hybridizations of the human body and natural elements. The exhibition plays with contamination, space, time, and the imperceptible folds that alter human life. The text is by Niccolò Lucarelli, a curator, critic, and military history essayist.
