Stefania Fersini's Imaginary Home at The Pool NYC, Milan

Stefania Fersini (Aosta, 1982) presents 'La dimora immaginaria' at The Pool NYC in Milan, a series of paintings on satin fabrics and velvet curtains in pastel tones that construct an elegant, slightly retro imaginary home. Each object—a succulent, a shelf of books, a vintage armchair—is rendered hyperrealistically, functioning more as stage sets than furnishings. The narrative is disrupted by external agents that break linear storytelling and deconstruct the didactic representation of objects. In a small room, Aldo Mondino's famous chandelier made of Bic pens hangs above a puzzle rug created by Fersini, which in turn references an intervention by Hilario Isola. The exhibition explores the interplay between reality and artifice, inviting viewers to question the boundaries of domestic space.
