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).
