Paula Doepfner's Poetic Fragility at Galleria Mario Iannelli
German artist Paula Doepfner (Berlin, 1980) presents a solo exhibition at Galleria Mario Iannelli in Rome, where her works blend calligraphic text, organic materials, and glass panes from a German bank—one vandalized, one unbreakable—encasing pressed leaves and petals in a vanitas. A melted ice block reveals a passage from Musil's *The Man Without Qualities*, while sketches of Roman pines become metaphors. Verses by Ungaretti and Anne Carson anchor the artistic-poetic discourse exploring psyche, body, and reality.
