ARTWORK IN CONTEST

CONFRONTI FUORI DALLA STORIA, 2016

PITTURA - foglio di alluminio, pelle, carta di giornale, colore, supporto in alluminio
cm 150 x 40

Un articolato contrappunto di sagome e scrittura diventa sulla superficie dipinta del metallo un misterioso gioco di luci e ombre del passato, nell'opera di Clara Menerella (Confronti fuori dalla storia), che appare come una sequenza filmica, uno scorrere ininterrotto di una pellicola dinanzi agli occhi, senza un inizio e senza una fine.
