Monika Grzymala's Tape Installations at Eduardo Secci Florence

At Galleria Eduardo Secci in Florence, Monika Grzymala presents an exhibition where black and silver adhesive tape becomes the primary medium for spatial distortion and temporal suggestion. Born in Zabre in 1970, the artist uses meters of tape to create sinuous trajectories that evoke Constructivist or Rayist painting in three dimensions. In a separate room, works on Japanese paper feature raised strips produced through a laborious manual process, with the paper's delicacy alluding to transience and the passage of time over bodies and objects. A central gallery connects the two spaces with silver-white tape installations—a color born from black and white—that reflect daylight at different hours, again marking time's flow and projecting into space. Through lightness and formal minimalism, Grzymala explores the disorientation of the contemporary individual. The exhibition was reviewed by Niccolò Lucarelli.
