Isabella Ducrot's Textile Art at T293 Rome
Isabella Ducrot, born in Naples in 1931, collects and studies exotic fabrics, reusing them to create new autonomous works by breaking pathways to cultural plurality. Her exhibition at T293 gallery in Rome features a structured arrangement framing wall-mounted garments and unrolling a long Indian Turbane (2014), made of cardboard and frottage. The works evoke invisible presences and skilled weavers, with fabric serving as a connection to an external world and clothing embodying otherness. The transformation of fabric and space suggests a fairy-tale journey toward an unexplored social dimension.
