MENTIROSA

About

Conceived for Espai Souvenir and LOOP City Screen 2021 Festival, MENTIROSA presents itself as an exercise in
curatorial proxemics where the artistic and plastic investigations of the two artists Marco Siciliano and Bruno Marrapodi are approached and discussed.
Built as an archive or a visual glossary, MENTIROSA focuses on the manipulative nature of images, powerful entities that can generate emotions, desires, and repulsions, to manipulate the perception of time, the way of seeing and
looking, of developing thoughts, of activating memory and imagination. If, on the one hand, the image is not responsible for lying to us, its manipulative capacity derives from the role we have been attributing it on the Metaverse Society, in managing the “self” and the body within the networks. The surplus of images we produce daily- Remedio Zafra tells us- derives from our fascination of seeing and being able to see ourselves while the body restson the other side.
