Sabrina Mezzaqui's Poetic Installation at Galleria Continua in San Gimignano
Sabrina Mezzaqui (Bologna, 1964) presents a large installation at the former cinema theater of Galleria Continua in San Gimignano, featuring five books hung on a thread with red covers, three swings with hidden messages, and delicate bead curtains. The installation incorporates words from poet Mariangela Gualtieri, who held a reading on January 25, 2025. The exhibition includes a participatory table titled "Raccogliere parole/ Il tavolo della poesia" filled with natural elements and collective contributions. The project began with a secular pilgrimage along the Via Francigena from Pistoia by the artist and friends. The show also features wall-mounted metope "embroidered" with beads and thoughts, as well as drawings and sketches on the floor. The work explores the relationship with nature, the fragility of life, and the ephemeral nature of time.
