Marco Maria Zanin's Fragmented Visions at Galleria Civica di Modena
Marco Maria Zanin (born 1983) presents a refined exhibition at Galleria Civica di Modena, exploring time's detritus through photography and sculpture. The show is framed by French philosopher Georges Didi-Huberman's concept of fragments as 'symptoms' of archetypal human values surviving across eras. Zanin's investigation spans from his native Padua province to São Paulo, Brazil, where he spends part of the year. His photographs echo Giorgio Morandi's obsessive silence by capturing fragments of demolished modern buildings. The sculptures, titled 'Maggese' (fallow land), reference agricultural cycles, while 'Sintomi lignei' (wooden symptoms) reinforce the exhibition's thematic core. The show runs through a period in 2017 at Galleria Civica di Modena.
