Press Release:

The inspiration for the group show at Balice Hertling is the work of Pier Paolo Pasolini, but particularly the topics raised in his 1975 text Gennariello: the pedagogical influence of objects (“the discourse of things”) and their linguistic power, intellectuals’ cynical acceptation of history, the conformism of modern society, and the irreversible damages provoked by progress. It is the second show inspired by this text that takes place at Balice Hertling; the first one was held in 2009 in the gallery’s very first space at 65 rue Rébeval.

Her work has been exhibited at the Maraya Art Center (Sharjah), Sikka Art Fair and Pavilion Downtown (Dubai). A dozen solo exhibitions have been devoted to her work, including two in 2019 at the Houston Center of Photography and the MIT List Visual Arts Center (Cambridge).
