Vincenzo Pennacchi's Immersive Installation at Galleria Romberg, Latina
Galleria Romberg in Latina presents a solo exhibition by Vincenzo Pennacchi, curated by Italo Bergantini and Daniele Zerbinati. The show features a large installation where paintings expand into three-dimensional space, incorporating mirrors, crystals, and heterogeneous assemblages that create real-and-imaginary characters. Pennacchi, an electronic engineer, draws on his training at the Teatro Ateneo of Sapienza University of Rome, where he attended lectures by Carmelo Bene and Jerzy Grotowski, the Polish director who theorized Poor Theatre. The installation is conceived as a single mise-en-scène, with reflective pyramid and triangle geometries harmonizing with polychromatic wall paintings. A crystal floor, made by the artist, becomes a central component of this polymorphic work, leading viewers through a geometric and conceptual labyrinth that challenges perceptual certainties and evokes a fantastic parallel world.
