Short palm · LEO XIII

‍

Elena Capra in conversation with Daniela Apice:

I was thinking about working with wall paint since a while. Here at Leo XIII I wanted to work in situ and bring together the two spaces which for me are at the end of the extremity; the gallery and the domestic space. The gallery I understand as a showroom or a sterile laboratory where you show or frame a product and thus de-contextualize its value. On the other hand I had to deal with the domestic, private space, which for me is not an editable space, here you can move freely and make mistakes.
