Simonetta Fadda's Multifaceted Exhibition at FRAC Corsica
Until January 20, 2019, FRAC in Corte, Corsica, hosts an exhibition by Simonetta Fadda (Savona, 1962), a theorist in video art. Fadda, recognized for her video creations since the 1990s, showcases a vibrant sculptural installation alongside photographs. The highlight of the exhibition is "Cantiere" (1993–2000, revisited in 2013 and 2018), which delves into the concept of labor time and the transition from analog to digital mediums. Fadda states, "Video works are never finished." The exhibition also includes photographic pieces such as "Caccia al topo" (2001), "Save lives not selfies," and "Benvenuti nel terzo millennio." Additionally, "Parole geneticamente modificate" (2018) amplifies words that have evolved in meaning due to digital communication among youth.
