Matteo Cibic: Lakapoliesi

This projects, curated by Chiara Guidi, redefines the traditional relationship between animals and plants, reversing its anthropocentric perspective. Inspired by the illustrated maps of Alexander Humboldt and the writings of Jagadish Chandra Bose and Monica Gagliano, Cibic creates large-format, three-dimensional chromatic maps and vegetal compositions, aiming to capture the emotions and sentiments of the plant world. The exhibition features wood sculptures, recycled aluminium, marble dust, and knotted wool, shaping a new “vegetal nomenclature” through an original and asymmetrical narrative.
