Martino Genchi's Four Cycles at Galleria Michela Rizzo, Venice

Martino Genchi (born 1982 in Milan) presents four cycles of work at Galleria Michela Rizzo on Giudecca Island, Venice. The artist, who studied in Venice, explores matter's constant becoming and visual perception dynamics, acting as a gatekeeper to parallel universes beyond Euclidean geometry and terrestrial physics. His works—suspended metal sheets, wall-embedded stones, infinite vector drawings, and large floor lamps—suggest that all bodies curve space around themselves. Genchi subordinates sight to hearing, evoking a white noise that rhythmically bounces between rooms. He cites Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) and Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker (1979) as influences, particularly the latter's rethinking of the known and unknown. The exhibition, titled 'Linger,' was installed in 2017.
