Sagg Napoli's solo exhibition Betty Bee curated by Milovan Farronato is on view in zaza Milano from 07/04 to 07/06/24.
"For both dwelling, familiarity and parental ties are a tangle and an eternal, relentless return. The city of Naples has been gestating them forever.
Now it is the meeting of their bodies, mostly stripped of embellishments and disguises. Bodies that resist an irrepressible death impulse that constantly pushes from the wings of each image. Bodies that make themselves shield and barrier, warning and above all preservation. Who recognize the same unease and know how to personify it in amusing poses. Bodies of the same age whose photographic representation bears a date that distances them by thirty years. Time lapse that inflames mirroring in a self-conscious game of spontaneous homage. Is Betty Bee's dark portent of SAGG Naples or is SAGG Naples an animated ante litteram resurrection of Betty Bee? Possible both, true neither! Certainly one validates the other, and looking at them in the mirror is a compelling thought experiment. Imagining them from the perspective of an upturned telescope provokes vertigo. Reading SAGG Napoli through Betty Bee's experience and rereading Betty Bee through that of SAGG Napoli. " - excerpt from the text by Milovan Farronato.
