Valeria Dardano's Solo Exhibition in Turin Explores Black as Perpetual Color
Valeria Dardano (b. 1993, Catanzaro) presents a solo exhibition in Turin, featuring sculptures that employ black as a "perpetual" color in a Hegelian eternal return. Her work integrates industrial materials like polyurethane, adhesives, tar, and earth to create illusory effects, reflecting on existence and the unconscious. The exhibition draws on her biography, including a nostalgic dialogue between Calabrian mountains and Turin's urban landscape.
