About the show

For its opening, Sotto presents There is water sleeping at the bottom of each memory, a project that assembles the research of three artists: Jeanine Brito (1993), Linda Carrara(1984) and Lulù Nuti (1988). In the exhibition, which takes place at the lower floor of Renata Fabbri’s, there is a selection of paintings and sculptures that explore the act of  diving – in the intimacy of memories, in the matter that constructs the world, in the places we live in- hinting to the depth of the contest in which the artworks are exposed.

Gaston Bachelard in L’eau et les rêves (1942) – essay that inspires the title of this exhibition-  writes that “to dream deeply, one must dream with matter”. The philosopher used these words to indicate the moment when imagination transforms the matter of a natural element – water in this case – in the free matter of dreams and artistic creation. By comparing the different expressive language of the three artists, this exhibition aims to highlight the common purpose of holding back and giving form to this silent and fleeting variation, through the artistic gesture. By transporting us into the depth of our subconscious, into the womb of terrestrial globe, or in the recesses of physical and mental landscapes, the exhibited artworks examine the liquid and oniric nature of thoughts, in an intense dialogue made of visual affinities and conceptual references.
