Tobias Zielony’s ‘Overshoot’ at Lia Rumma Captures Aldo Loris Rossi’s Utopian Architecture
German artist Tobias Zielony presents ‘Overshoot’ at Galleria Lia Rumma in Naples, a photographic and video series that animates the futuristic, utopian architecture of Aldo Loris Rossi (1933-2018). The exhibition title references a Radio Radicale program Rossi frequently appeared on. Zielony’s night-time, luminous shots depict Rossi’s buildings—including the residential complex Piazza Grande ai Ponti Rossi, Casa del Portuale, and the Church of Santa Maria della Libera and Santissimo Redentore in Portici—as stages for human interaction. The artist, who previously documented Scampia’s Vele in 2010, combines architectural forms with portraits, creating an aesthetic-cinematic journey rather than a civil reportage. Nine stop-motion videos capture fluid movements within these radical structures, with the camera observing discreetly like Degas at a keyhole. The exhibition runs until a date not specified in the source.
