Italo Zuffi's 'Il doppio del tempo' at Galleria Federica Schiavo, Rome

Italo Zuffi (Imola, 1969) presents 'Il doppio del tempo' at Galleria Federica Schiavo in Rome, a solo exhibition exploring contamination as environmental pollution and military invasion. The show opens with twin installations 'I ghirigori dello spirito' (2025), addressing microplastics through painted variations of the artist's short texts on the ecological crisis. In 'Spuntino' (2025), a terracotta sculpture critiques consumerism by elevating a cracker as a symbol of collective desensitization. 'Cibofreccia' (2025) uses graphic translations of road signs to satirize instant gratification. The ceramic group 'Clava-torce' (2025) juxtaposes a club and a torch to question the duality of brute force and reason. The diptych 'Dutch Army ranks' (2025) exposes military hierarchies, referencing the Dutch army's role in the 1995 Srebrenica genocide. The exhibition concludes with the video 'Prada water supplies' (2024–2025), filmed at Fondazione Prada, focusing on guards' water supplies to parallel the preservation of art and life.
