Sophie Ko's Third Solo Show at Renata Fabbri in Milan

Sophie Ko presents her third solo exhibition at Galleria Renata Fabbri in Milan, titled 'Prima che una stella cada' (Before a Star Falls). The show runs until November 18, 2023, with a critical text by Riccardo Venturi. Ko's work explores existential themes through temporal geographies, using materials like bronze leaves, bark boats, and layered pigments and ashes within geometric frames. The exhibition features an epigraph quoting Peter Handke's 'Elogio dell'infanzia' and references Nietzsche and Rilke. A bronze leaf on the staircase marks cyclical time, while a bark boat (cast in bronze) sails on the floor. Ko's practice combines poetic imagery with philosophical questions about time, existence, and the universe.
