Sonia Andresano's 'Deconfinement' at AlbumArte in Rome

At AlbumArte in Rome, Sonia Andresano (born 1983 in Salerno) presents works from the last three years, mapping a coherent exploration of 'deconfinement'—a tangible and universal support system. The exhibition features 'I due veicoli ciechi' (2020), transparent resin bus rearview mirrors that prevent looking back but instead allow daydreaming. Works like 'trammammuro' (video, 2018) and 'mio padre e suo figlio' (video installation, 2017) capture endless waits preserved in memory through visual and acoustic traces. The multiple transfers and sonic excesses of a renovation transform into a still lake that is incessant, repeated movement. The most recent piece, 'allegra ma non troppo' (2020), was recorded inside the gallery after lockdown, showing close-ups of a static fly recurring in Andresano's work. The fly appears on screen as a familiar yet annoying object that quickly disappears from perceptual radar. In a fragile reality that must reinvent itself through a domestic journey for self-defense, the white fly promises reassurance and active potential—an echo of shared feeling professed in solitude.
