The Exhibition
In his installations, films and photographs, GianMarco Porru draws on the cultures and mythologies of the Mediterranean. There is a constant transition between past and present, a dialogue between popular traditions and contemporary visual culture. Several characters dot an imaginary that looks at a stratified pantheon in which references to the ancient world intertwine with classical literature, Hellenistic cultures and astrological mysteries.
Stazione Celeste fits into this practice and is presented at MA*GA Museum with a series of photographic works and an environmental installation in which we see Artemis, Selene and Hecate appear, respectively personifications of the waxing, full and waning moons in dialogue with constellations that humans question to know the future but also to discover attitudes and deceptions.
