• Intoduction:

  On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Antonioni, Arianna Fantin/Artisane (Bologna, 1988), artist who is living in Berlin for years, has used words for reflection on the feeling of emptiness expressed in the cinema of the director from Ferrara by words. Drawing inspiration from some Monica Vitti’s sentences from movies, the artist realised a series of works using one of the most recurring techniques in her work, embroidered text. Words made by thread immersed in other words, letters dissolving in water, books hand embroidered, cyanotype prints conversing with a work by her father, Emilio Fantin: symbols and references to the cinema of unspoken words and speaking silences.

  This exhibition is part of the project “Dentro le mura”, realised in the context of Creatività Giovanile, promoted and supported by the Dipartimento della Gioventù – Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministi and by Anci – Associazione Nazionale Comuni Italiani.
