ALMOST VIRGIN

The Holy Virgin, symbol of integrity and virginity, but also a victim of the irony of fate. As a pop icon, it ended up marketed and finally sold off at 50%. Stripped of all its spiritual strength but paradoxically destined to reappear as a sacred religious reference in the home of whoever BUYs it. 2017

Dimensions: 20 x 38 cm

Materials: glass, brass frame

Ri Contorsioni

Photographic prints of a contorted and solidified universe. Dense relationships and intersections create a tangle of memories that pushes the individual away from one’s origins. “Ri-contorsioni” is an invitation to melt down and go back to a simpler form, an effort to find lightness and simplicity. 2018

Superufficio

Ironic yet functional and obviously super-light interpretation of the classic office chair Superleggera by Gio’ Ponti for Cassina (superlight chair). Work often keeps us enthralled, or as in the Italian saying “incollati alla sedia” – glued to the chair – but this tribute to Gio’ Ponti is a hymn to light-heartedness instead. Commissioned for the Supercolla Project, curated by Guido Musante and Maria Chiara Valacchi presented at Martina Simeti Art Gallery in Milan. 2018

Dimensions: 83 x 41 x 45cm
Material: Ash wood

EVA and EVA – What If?

Studio Amebe, Biennale Arte 2024, Giardini delle Vergini, EVA and EVA, art performance, Arsenale, What if?, Independent performance

In the evocative setting of the Biennale Arte 2024Giardino delle Vergini, AMEBE’s independent Art performance unfolds, woven with symbolism and anthropological reflection. Two modern Eves, emancipated and self-assured beneath a majestic tree, disconnecting from Adam’s shadow. Their union, symbolized by the “knotted serpent,” transcends mere defiance, manifesting a profound struggle against entrenched paradigms. As they taste the forbidden fruit, deeper questions arise: what would humanity become in a world untouched by sin’s stain? A powerful exploration of our potential unfolds, questioning the very essence of paradise and the intricate tapestry of human existence, suspended between the allure of Eden and the harsh realities of our world. This manifesto thus becomes a bold assertion of the role of women in the human narrative. 2024
