Jasmine Pignatelli's Timeless Project at BoCS Art Residency in Cosenza

Artist Jasmine Pignatelli participated in the final autumn session of BoCS Art, an artist residency program in Cosenza, Italy. During her 20-day stay, she created the work "Timeless," which she donated to the nascent city museum. The project was inspired by ancient bronze discs with concentric rings and rayed patterns from the Iron Age Enotrian necropolis of Torre del Mordillo, housed at the Museo dei Brettii e degli Enotri in Cosenza. Pignatelli met with museum director Marilena Cerzoso to research the artifacts. "Timeless" extends her previous series "Directionless" and "Dimensionless," exploring formal and conceptual ideas about time, space, and human relationships. The work uses transparent thick supports and video projections to create a kaleidoscopic effect, linking past and present. The installation incorporates cross-media elements, including video, to amplify the sign and evoke the invisible tension of art. Pignatelli, born in Canada in 1968 and based in Bari and Rome, is known for her sculpture work, particularly in ceramics.
