Trees Remeber Too highlights the deep relationship that man has with nature, and how it becomes a privileged channel for the expression of memory.

Laura Manfredi, through some ready-made installations of the Fragile series, composed of a multiplicity of objects that contain in itself a sense of fragility and fragmentation, tries to reflect on the theme of repetition and memory and the deep link between them. The systematic reproduction of similar, but not equal, elements, always with a different detail, in her installations, refers to everyday life to that typically human mnemonic process that leads to the selection of some memories compared to others. Manfredi tries to investigate this process of selection and association, apparently arbitrary, which is a link with the colletive past but individual too. (Text by B#S Gallery)

Trees Remeber Too pone in evidenza il profondo rapporto di connessione che l’uomo ha con la natura e come quest’ultima diventi canale privilegiato per l’espressione di concetti quali memoria e ricordo.

"Laura Manfredi, presenta alcune installazioni ready made del ciclo “fragile” composte da una molteplicità di oggetti che racchiudono in loro un senso di fragilità e frammentarietà cerca di riflettere sul tema della ripetizione e della memoria e l’intrinseco legame tra le due. La riproduzione sistematica di elementi simili, ma non uguali, sempre con un particolare diverso, nelle sue installazioni, rimanda alla quotidianità a quel processo mnemonico tipicamente umano che porta alla selezione di alcuni ricordi rispetto ad altri. Manfredi cerca di indagare questo processo di selezione e associazione, apparentemente arbitrario, che costituisce un legame con il passato sia collettivo, ma soprattutto individuale."(Testo a cura di B#S Gallery)

The exhibition offers a contemporary reworking of the most typical iconography of vanitas: the image of the cut flower. Sublime, full of meaning, yet ambivalent, the language of cut flowers is the archetipal symbol of beauty and ephemeral youth, but in the deep it also carries an unavoidable funeral and presagistic component (given by its quality as a grave element).
The exhibited works are material, photographic, pictorial and installative, and they translate a universe full of spiritual and carnal references, connected to the metaphor of the flower in different cultures (Text by B#S Gallery).

La mostra propone una rielaborazione in chiave contemporanea dell’iconografia più tipica della vanitas: l’immagine del fiore reciso. Sublime, pregno di significato, eppure ambivalente, il linguaggio del fiore reciso è per antonomasia simbolo di bellezza e di effimera gioventù, ma nel profondo porta anche con sè un’inevitabile componente funerea e presagistica, insita nella sua qualità di elemento tombale.
Le opere esposte sono materiche, fotografiche, pittoriche ed installative, e traducono un universo di rimandi spirituali e carnali, connesso alla metafora del fiore in diverse culture (Testo a cura di B#S Gallery).

‚Carte‘ é una mostra di piccole opere su carta. Il titolo, tuttavia, non si riferisce solo al materiale su cui sono realizzate le opere bensì anche all’uso di questa parola come sinonimo di ‚mappa‘. Dettagli di oggetti si riducono a linee e forme, che, dialogando tra loro, rimandano a mappe essenziali ed immaginarie. Con un sottile rimando alla cittá che ospita la mostra, Venezia.

‚Carte‘ (Papers) is an exhibition of small format artworks on paper. However, the title doesn’t refer only to the paper as support of these artworks. In italian the word ‚carta‘ means map too. Deatils of objects are reduced into lines and shapes, that, with their dialogue, recall basic and imaginary maps. A subtle and understated homage to the hosting city of the exhibition, Venice.
