About
Alberto Maggini’s ‘Diva’s Boudoir’ presents an installation consisting of paintings, ceramics and found materials, creating a space where fallacy and reality flirt, merge and clash. ‘Diva’s Boudoir’ sets the stage for uninterrupted transformation and liberation from the claustrophobic claws of patriarchal society. Drawing on the practice of disidentification; a queer critical investigation on identity, and with a background in biology and botany, Maggini explores the healing power of metamorphosis by scrambling the notions of gender, sexuality and the human form to rethink their encoded meanings. ‘Diva’s Boudoir’ desires to reveal the fluidity of identities using bold, bright and playful motifs inspired by colours and patterns present in the natural world.
