Lateral Vision (Castelvecchio)

subtitle

The Vergin beheaded

Work description and interpretation
Painting inserted into the Scarpa frame together with Andrea da Murano’s “Madonna con Bambino”. At a certain point in history someone cut the head off this painting. Carlo Scarpa imagined giving it back the space that was taken from it. I went inside that space. I infiltrated myself into that emptiness with my “Lateral Vision” in a dialogue between my painting and Andrea da Murano’s.
