At the opening, the new book of lara gasparotto will be presented

Expenditure, loss, oblivion, inversion. That's what it's all about. The mists of the aftermath of a trip or a party. But as the images unfold, something else emerges. Questions emerge. Who takes care of us? What are the gestures, the materials, or the shadows that protect us? As if in search of a new ethic, using her own means, her camera, chalk, paper, and tracing paper, Lara Gasparotto traces paths, lines, and makes choices. Choices in the folds of the sheets, the ears of wheat, the curtains of rain. Nature in all its forms. Skin, hair, stone. She draws, and she highlights the invisible links that weave themselves from one end of our worlds to the other. In chalk on the faces and arms of those she loves, she adds the shadows of trees that will soon be gone. Shadows of trees that will soon no longer exist, the lights of suns that may not yet be shining. She echoes, she speaks to us of ourselves, of our disappearing worlds, but also of the possibility of creating new ones.And, above all, of the beauty that lives or survives amidst the rubble.
