Runo Lagomarsino's Family Migration Story at Galleria Francesca Minini
Runo Lagomarsino's solo exhibition at Galleria Francesca Minini in Milan explores his family's migration from Argentina to Europe. The installation features pigeon deterrents, a hand-drawn world map without country names or curved lines, and souvenirs from countries his family traversed. The phrase 'The age of exile' is inscribed. The show includes a text by Jacopo Crivelli Visconti comparing migrants to birds chased from cities. A sunprint of Latin America's outline on photosensitive paper may fade over time, symbolizing memory loss. The works question belonging and borders, depicting limits that can be crossed.
