In her first solo show in Asia, Elisa Sighicelli presents a series of new photographs that scrutinize overlooked details of museum interiors and of artworks in a number of institution collections. 

Known for her experimental approach in the medium of photography, Sighicelli probes into the materiality of photos and its effect on our way of seeing. Merging with materials that have different tactile properties and textures, her photographs analyse the ways in which reality reflects itself and often appears to be made from the very substance it represents. In a world saturated with virtual images, the artist sets out to restore the palpable tangible existence of images in a physical space.

The exhibition is going to be accompanied by a selection of ancient Roman steles and remnants to foster a dialogue between antiquity and their reinterpretation through contemporary lenses across time and space.
