Iginio De Luca's Dantean Tiber Video at MACA Museum
Iginio De Luca, winner of the Cantica21. Italian Contemporary Art Everywhere call, presents a video titled "Tevere Expo" depicting the Tiber River as a chaotic, infernal waterway. The video synthesizes a project produced in April 2021. De Luca previously installed 15 large-scale, faux-advertising posters across Rome showing the Tiber in dark, dramatic hues. The artist describes urban relics emerging from a "singular Dantean circle," industrial and domestic testimonies of a renounced everyday life breaking the water-air boundary. The video will be shown alongside other works at De Luca's solo exhibition at the Museo MACA in Frosinone from February 25 to April 1, 2022.
