Lina Selander's 'Diagrams of Transfer' at Tiziana Di Caro, Naples

Lina Selander's solo exhibition 'Diagrams of Transfer' at Galleria Tiziana Di Caro in Naples presents four works that poetically narrate a world ruined by humanity and its 'divine indifference.' The show opens with 'Notes For a Film on Nature' (2016), a projection onto a photograph of a former French courtroom now used as an exhibition space, positioning the viewer not as judge but as witness. In the second room, two looped videos—'Diagram of Transfer No. 1' (2018) and 'Diagram of Transfer No. 2' (2019)—interweave history and memory, economy and politics, control and fear, using archival footage and contemporary images such as book-shredding machines (alluding to censorship) and a panda at Schönbrunner Zoo that draws for carrots, sold to the public with authentication. Concluding the show is 'The Weight of Images' (2019), a video installation created specifically for the gallery, where Selander transforms interpretation into presentation. In the final room, a table holds apples that visitors may take (symbolizing hope and nourishment), while on the floor between the table's legs, a mirror recalls Perseus's shield and reflects fragments of images from a hidden monitor—all related to the Holocaust, the Sonderkommando of Auschwitz, and the reconstruction of documents, evoking a time that continues to burn.
