Monica Biancardi's Naples Exhibition Explores Domestic Violence Through Light and Shadow

Monica Biancardi (born 1972, Naples) presents a solo exhibition at Shazar Gallery in Naples, using light, shadow, and scratched glass to symbolize domestic violence and psychological suffering. The project originated from analysis of increased violence against women during lockdown. The exhibition features installations where everyday objects like pearl necklaces project as nooses, and perfume bottles hint at inner poison. A white wall with a woman's profile facing a thermal scanner gun opens the show. A hidden small photograph, 'Rinascita' (2022), shows a scar from the artist's surgery at Ospedale del Mare on 21/11/2022. The artist moves beyond photography to create an archaeological discourse of light and scratches, revealing invisible pain behind domestic appearances.
