About

The exhibition at Galleria Ramo introduces a selection of works that explore the artist’s relationship with a temporary home during her stay in Hudson (New York State, USA).

220 WS, 12534 NY - the title of the exhibition explores Paltrinieri’s experience in a new environment. A home away from home, she brings us on a guided tour of the American apartment. Capturing the passing of time that has long been forgotten. Paltrinieri searchers for every little detail, scratches, scares and traces left at 220 WS, 12534 NY Hudson. By documenting the space, through the use of frottage, sculptures and installations she breathes and creates a connection with our deeper self, laying the foundations for our living conditions.

Paltrinieri’s investigation of the architectural space gazes towards marginal areas bordering on anonymity: equipped with a camera or a pencil, she crosses these terrains, searching for all the particularities. Initially focusing on structural details, magnifying them and bringing them back to life. The works in the exhibition reflect our relationships with our homes. The imperfections become perfections and through a process of upgrading and updating our homes loose our grip with history, trying to forget the imperfections. Paltrinieri manages to conserve our past in beautiful and interesting artworks, showing us to look and challenge’s us to use the imperfections with love and affection. The artist builds from these decadent architectures to better understand the origins of man.
