Luca Di Luzio's 'Viaggio Analogo' at Antica Libreria Cascianelli in Rome

Luca Di Luzio (Rome, 1986) presents 'Viaggio Analogo', a solo exhibition curated by Fabio Sindici at the Antica Libreria Cascianelli in Rome. The show blends the artist's works with the historic bookstore's spaces, emphasizing its collections and identity. The title references René Daumal's unfinished surrealist novel 'Mount Analogue', but Di Luzio's journey is complete. Like an explorer, he searches for distant places—islands, lakes, deserts, swamps—imprinting them on paper and canvas with vivid acrylic colors. His maps represent not only an analogous journey but stages of a world linked to his own anatomy. Maps, faux skins, and masks dialogue with the store's antique books, replacing labels with poetic fragments. Through a continuous play between truth and fiction, the artist leads viewers to 'other shores', acknowledging that reality often reveals itself as mysterious.
