Quantum Leaps - curated by Flavio Scaloni

A curation by Flavio Scaloni, Gallery Manager at Galerie Lo Scalo - A presumed condition of marginalization, a prolonged period of isolation, a form of lack of some kind, or another type of discomfort, can suddenly change direction at a certain point in their evolution and become exceptional and, indeed, extraordinary conditions. This can then lead to alterations in the senses and in normal perceptual capacities, in the usual state of consciousness. The artworks chosen to compose this unusual selection somehow seek to explore this ineffable moment of sensory alteration, which is like a shift or a displacement, minimal yet substantial, like the crossing of some invisible threshold or, better said, the involuntary trespassing into another dimension, perhaps inscribed in an immanent and spiraling circularity, or perhaps a parallel one, which, inappropriately recalling a definition borrowed from the vocabulary of physics, we might also call a quantum leap. Guided then by the freest imagination, which is the exclusive prerogative of art, we can delight in imagining spatial passages, temporal superpositions of moments even very distant from each other, close encounters of the third kind, and astral travels between one dimension and another.
