Fabrizio Cotognini: Transitum

“Transitum” marks Fabrizio Cotognini’s first solo project within the gallery spaces, conceived as an excursus on his artistic research. Articulated in multiple interwoven chapters, the exhibition forms a rich web of connections that unfond across the three floors of BUILDING GALLERY.

Presenting more than 90 works created specifically for the exhibition—including micro-castings, sculptures, installations, and drawings— “Transitum” draws heavily on iconographies of the past inspired by epic, mythology, and alchemy. In this macro-narrative, concepts of transformation, memory, identity, and knowledge take shape, actualising our relationship with the ancient to question the present.

As curator Marina Dacci observes, “The title of the exhibition becomes a metaphor for the artist’s own posture aimed at continuous research. Transitum narrates an infinite potential of both matter and human nature: nature in relation to  human being overbearingly appears throughout the exhibition, literally in a bird’s eye view.”
