“An intense and long experiment in
mimicry. It is a prolific vertigo, neither linear nor fluid, infinitely
repeatable, an oxymoronic figure that reveals by concealing lost
objects and absent people.”
Antonia Gaeta
“Harlequin”, a solo exhibition by Musa paradisiaca, curated
by Antonia Gaeta, celebrates the figure of the banal hero—tragicomic,
vulnerable, and ingenious. Like the Harlequin, who balances between
drama and survival, the exhibition weaves an environment that
acknowledges fragility as strength and collaboration as a method.
Through first-person videos, narratives featuring amateur actors, and
interactions with the audience, each piece emerges from a network of
collaborations while remaining deeply personal. Intimate gestures of
painting and drawing coexist with works that expand the space of
reality, always in tension between the ephemeral and the permanent.
