The ties are the protagonists of the new exhibition hosted in the spaces of SCD Textile and Art Studio Perugia: Saturday, February 9 was inaugurated in fact Prelude to the fading of Giulia Nelli, a young Lombard artist, whose work follows a path within the different human relationships, sometimes frivolous and light, sometimes intense, if not even binding and violent. The works are made with tights made of polyamide and elastane, a material of high symbolic value and innovation, which are torn, pulled and reduced to their essential element, the thread, which weaves its path of life now solitary, now intertwined with the fate of others.
Giulia Nelli leads us between connections and bonds, in search of a (new) balance between one and the other, to the discovery of possible relational metamorphoses capable of transforming the former into the latter; moreover, the liquidity of feelings and emotions in contemporary society is one of the great themes of our time.However, it is not a pessimistic vision of the artist who, in that prelude to the title of the exhibition, emphasizes above all the expectation.
If, in fact, on the one hand he questions the drift of affections, emotions and feelings towards an ever-increasing inconsistency and evanescence and on the identity and destiny of contemporary man where he finally finds himself deprived of every solid and lasting aspect in his existence, on the other hand he observes this metamorphosis, finding in the time of transformation and becoming the promise of new and perhaps even better relationships.(Barbara Pavan)
