Stefano Cerio ǀ Aquila

A solo exhibition by Stefano Cerio with a special guest: Giuseppe Stampone, from Abruzzo. The exhibition is a tribute to Abruzzo and the areas hit by the terrible earthquake in 2009. Stefano Cerio has installed an inflatable house in a poetic attempt to create a fictitious reconstruction of the area. The natural spot takes on a different meaning, with the temporary inflatable house that suddenly becomes almost metaphysical object. The inflatable house is, by nature, anti-seismic, and Cerio’s gesture can be considered a act of faith. In fact, a good portion of the region affected by the drama, has not been completely reconstructed. With this project the artist aspires to rebuild it ideally.
