Paola di Bello's Homeless' Home at MLAC Rome
The MLAC museum in Rome presents "Homeless' Home," a solo exhibition by Neapolitan artist Paola di Bello (born 1961), curated by Raffaella Perna and running until June 21, 2016. The show features two photographic series: "Concrete Island" (ten images of discarded urban objects like sinks and chairs, photographed in landfills or roadsides, with the camera angled to restore their original identity) and "Rischiano pene molto severe" (portraits of homeless sleepers in Milan's metro, rotated from horizontal to vertical to restore dignity and reveal the extraordinary within the overlooked). Di Bello's neo-Situationist approach reappropriates urban reality through unconventional viewpoints, transforming commonplace subjects into mystical epiphanies.
