Tiziana Pers's 'Caput Capitis' Opens at aA29 Project Room in Caserta
Tiziana Pers (born 1976 in Trivignano Udinese) presents the second installment of her exhibition 'Caput Capitis' at aA29 Project Room in Caserta, following an earlier iteration in Milan. Curated by Pietro Gaglianò and Gabriella Galati, the show adopts a biocentric perspective, focusing on the protection of vulnerable animals exploited by humans for entertainment, experimentation, and knowledge. The exhibition is structured in three stages, guiding viewers through the brutalities of capitalism. Central to the display are genetically modified monkeys, thirteen bulls and cows that escaped slaughter or bullfighting, and other animals from Pers's ongoing two-decade project 'Art_History.' The work critiques daily indifference and proposes a new understanding of exchange, social contracts, respect for otherness, and coexistence.
