Comics
Published in March 2023, “Materia Degenere” is a biennial anthological publication by Diabolo Editions, in which 5 young female Italian authors write and draw a thirty-page story freely inspired by the same author.
My story, "Ultrafragola", opens the third volume: the narration is a sci-fi hentai set in present-day Milan, in which the protagonist Rocco lives a sensual and spiritual love with a famous 70’s design mirror, which seems to have more soul than the humans reflected in it.
Published in January 2023 in Domani Editoriale, a leading Italian national daily newspaper, Lo Specchio del Mondo is a two-page visual narrative set in the present day. The story follows a female protagonist who reacts with complete detachment to the arrival of aliens, her life dominated by the relentless demands of production, leaving her powerless to do anything but comply.
4 page erotic narration of a tinder date published on Frankenstein magazine #3 in 2020.
Impetuous exhibition
Four-month exhibition (June- September 2023) at the Museum of Oriental Art of Turin (MAO) with an environmental installation made up of 10 paper banners with a total length of 28 meters hanging from the ceiling. The work is a tribute to the manga/anime characters that have shaped my aesthetics and art practice.
Curatorial practice
I’m the founder of /77, an artist-run space based in Milan, active from 2015 to 2018, successfully curating a series of exhibitions and events across Milan, London, and Lugano.
/77 was the Italian reference point for artists who, once they graduated from art school, wanted to create bold, anti-commercial or controversial works of art.
/77 shaped the aesthetics and mindset of a generation, promoting art projects that were too risky or innovative for galleries or museums.
