Luca Francesconi's 'Hormone Disruptors' at Umberto di Marino, Naples
Luca Francesconi's solo exhibition 'Hormone Disruptors' at Galleria Umberto di Marino in Naples explores how agricultural chemicals alter gender identity through endocrine disruption. The works, including 'Huacatay 1992' (bronze and iron), 'Xenoestrogeno' (2021), 'Putrefied fish' (2018, bronze), and 'Infertilità' (2021, bronze, steel, aluminum, resin, human hair, black fabric), depict a slow 'change of skin' as organisms adapt to mutagens. Francesconi has collaborated with the gallery since 2006. Upcoming projects include shows at Galeria Pedro Cera in Lisbon and Museo Burel in Belluno.
