Marcella Vanzo's 'Anemone' Performance at Galleria Contin

Marcella Vanzo's solo exhibition 'Anemone' at Galleria Contin in Milan is the third and final chapter of the program 'E quel che Alice vi trovò', curated by Lucia Pezzulla and Andrea Contin. The centerpiece is a performance where Vanzo lies atop ten stacked mattresses, dressed in a gown matching the color of fabric anemones thrown by a child. The installation incorporates ceramic assemblages and vintage photographs, creating an environment that blends theater, anatomy, and dream. A saxophonist plays a lullaby, while viewers can climb a small ladder to lean out a window, overlooking Milan's spring skyline. The work explores themes of time, memory, and identity, described by the artist as 'eternal present intermittent.' The exhibition runs from May 2, 2026.
