Silvia Mariotti's Night Landscapes at Urbino's Palazzo Ducale

Silvia Mariotti (b. 1980, Fano) presents an exhibition at Spazio K, Palazzo Ducale in Urbino, creating a dialogue between the physical location and its perceptual transcendence. Her sculptures, colored like trees and night skies, appear as solid projections of nocturnal landscapes near the event horizon. The works merge space and time in a rarefied atmosphere, evoking a dimension of waiting. The night scenes find correspondences with historical works: Chopin's Nocturnes, a 16th-century Flemish tapestry 'Bosco con animali esotici', and Francesco Barocci's 'San Francesco riceve le stimmate', both held at the Galleria Nazionale delle Marche. Mariotti's 'Pioggia lunare' (Lunar Rain), a small darkbox, evokes Barocci's mystical light dissolving into a moonlit landscape. The exhibition was reviewed by Adele Cappelli.
