Salvatore Manzi's 'Deuteroluogo' at Saaci/Gallery in Saviano
Salvatore Manzi (Naples, 1975) presents an immersive installation at Saaci/Gallery in Saviano, Italy. The exhibition, curated by Luciana Berti, creates a diaphanous space where light penetrates the fabric of the work, leading viewers into a 'second place' or 'Deuteroluogo' beyond a threshold. The architectural weave of the gallery is interrupted, evoking an archetypal form and a spiritual alterity. A sound composition by Giuseppe Fontanella, guitarist of the band 24 Grana, produces acufenic resonances that suggest an auratic presence. The video 'Dimora' (2019) shows a close-up of a shell cavity, linking the viewer's body as the primary locus of experience. The exhibition runs at Saaci/Gallery in Saviano, with the opening likely in October 2019 as per the article date.
