Silvia Camporesi's Online Exhibition 'Mirabilia' Explores Italy's Cultural History
Silvia Camporesi (born 1973 in Forlì) presents 'Mirabilia', an online-only exhibition hosted by Photology Online Gallery, marking the start of her collaboration with the gallery directed by Davide Faccioli. The show is not a survey of Italian wonders but an attempt to reconstruct the cultural history of Italy, which the artist traversed extensively over five years. The exhibition is divided into thematic sections such as 'in erigendo', 'ad ludibrium', 'in scaena', 'de prospectiva', 'in ornamentum', 'in sculptura', 'de collectionibus', 'sub terra', 'in aedibus', 'submersae vitae', and 'emersae vitae'. It features both well-known treasures like Sabbioneta, San Galgano, and the Isola delle Rose (depicted in Sydney Sibilia's film), as well as obscure discoveries such as Rocchetta Mattei in Grizzana Morandi, Teatro Comunale di Cagli, Parco di Villa Rossi in Santorso, and an anonymous flying house in Liguria. The online format allows viewers to examine each image in detail, compensating for the lack of physical objects. The exhibition is accessible at https://www.photology.com/silviacamporesi/.
