Materials and Motions at Galleria Eugenia Delfini Explores Movement as Transformative Agent

The group exhibition 'Materials and Motions' at Galleria Eugenia Delfini in Rome features works by Letizia Calori, Ornella Cardillo, and Axel Gouala, each investigating movement as a transformative and activating force. Gouala's 'Lingua' (2025), a concrete sculpture evoking undulation, and 'Clic' (2023), a glazed ceramic hand on a mousepad, explore the dichotomy between weight and lightness and the human-digital relationship. Cardillo's puppets 'Pennacchio' and 'Indovinello' (2025) use materials and textiles to suggest a parallel narrative, while her geometric sculptures 'Le Luci della Città' (2024) and 'Noia Monumentale' (2022) treat form as figurative theatrical performance. Calori's 'P.' (2019), a wax cast of her father's work shirt that slowly burns, and 'Hard Work' (2022), two silicone rubber sculptures of a hammer and wrench, address the symbolic destruction and redefinition of inherited roles and objects. The exhibition runs at Galleria Eugenia Delfini in Rome.
