Riccardo Mannelli's 'Ammazzami' at Casa Vuota, Rome
Riccardo Mannelli (Pistoia, 1955) presents 'Ammazzami' at Casa Vuota in Rome, a two-week exhibition featuring portraits of women on drawing paper placed over wallpaper. The show's title evokes violence, discrimination, and oppression, yet the domestic setting counters that narrative. The female body confronts the dictatorship of images, critiquing Instagram's policy on sharing 'obscene' normality. The exhibition includes a sketchbook on a commode with isolated nude emblems. Raffaele Orlando curated the review.
