Sofia Cambiaggio

Museums are full of faces and figures. I'm not just talking about paintings or official artworks, but also all those representations that are part of the museum context, such as architectural decorations like those found in the Palazzo Ducale of Urbino, for example.

In a moment of distraction from the planned visit to the galleries, I found myself observed by a thousand 'little faces', which seemed to follow me with their sight, talk to me, and suggest things with their facial and bodily expressions. So I decided to follow them...

Così vive e animate is like a game – dreamlike and ironic at the same time – which explores the theme of animated statues in myth, theater, and ancient and modern literature. It builds analogies and relationships between photographs and texts with the intention of prompting a mechanism of free association and imagination.
