Nina Carini's 'Aperçues' at Basilica di San Celso in Milan

Nina Carini (born 1984 in Palermo) presents 'Aperçues' ('visions, glimpses') at the Basilica di San Celso in Milan, curated by Angela Madesani and Rischa Paterlini. The exhibition explores time, limit, and infinity through semi-transparent materials like alabaster and glass. Outside, speakers broadcast children's voices reciting names of disappearing tribes, languages, and world regions. Inside, works include 'Venere Bugiarda 3023'—flower vases around a pillar—and 'Senza Voce,' an alabaster sculpture placed in a confessional, reproducing the artist's throat to evoke aphasia. The centerpiece, 'Mani come rami che toccano cielo,' created during a residency at Fonderia Battaglia, features bronze branches ending in hands cast from the artist's own, reaching toward the ceiling. The exhibition emphasizes the inseparability of its components, with the altar enhancing the spiritual dimension.
