Maria Adele Del Vecchio's 'Sentinella, a che punto è la notte' at Galleria Tiziana Di Caro

Maria Adele Del Vecchio (Caserta, 1976) presents 'Sentinella, a che punto è la notte' at Galleria Tiziana Di Caro in Naples. The exhibition explores light as a metaphor for memory and identity. Del Vecchio uses a torch to illuminate domestic objects and trinkets in photographs, evoking personal histories. Her work references Man Ray, Egyptian simulacra, and Euripidean masks, creating a choral narrative about undervalued lives, particularly women's. The show includes a sculptural neon reminiscent of Tracey Emin rather than Joseph Kosuth, a modified mirror that both obscures and reveals identity, and a self-portrait candle referencing Urs Fischer. The title quotes the Bible and Euripides, questioning the night as a space of freedom. The exhibition runs in 2023.
