FORM 0

 Visible things can be invisible. If someone rides a horse in a forest, first you see them, then not, but you know they are there. In the White Signature, the horsewoman hides the trees, and the trees in turn hide her. However, our thought encompasses both the visible and the invisible. And I use painting to make thought visible.
R. Magritte

The perfect balance of forms can be satisfying… but also unsettling.
Starting from the fascination with symmetry understood as a compositional tool to convey harmony, and from the multiple symbolic meanings of the mirror in the arts, in FORM 0, his first female duo, Riccardo Buscarini explores symmetry as a place of disharmony and conflict.
How can a dialogue be possible if we see ourselves while looking at the other?
What happens if similarity leads us to merge into each other and lose our identity?

From a distorted mirror emerges a monstrous image.

Next: FORM 0 – Looking at symmetry

Meeting with the audience moderated by artist and researcher Eleonora Marzani, who will introduce the themes of symmetry and the mirror underlying the creative process of this work.
