Luigi Presicce's Le Storie della Vera Croce at Mattatoio Roma
Luigi Presicce (born 1976, Porto Cesareo) presents Le Storie della Vera Croce at Mattatoio di Roma as part of the three-year program Dispositivi Sensibili, curated by Angel Moya Garcia. The exhibition in Padiglione 9B features ten episodes shown in their entirety for the first time, blending video documentation of performances with meticulous painting. The project, initiated in 2012 and expanded during a residency at Mattatoio, draws from La Legenda Aurea by Jacopo da Varagine and the Bible, referencing fresco cycles by Agnolo Gaddi and Piero della Francesca. Eighteen performances across ten videos create a single large work where painting is central. The exhibition also includes a public program with tableaux vivants, talks, film screenings, and collaborations with the Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma.
