"Patrizia Mussa, Teatri - Photopastels"
from Thursday, February 27, 2020 to Friday, April 10, 2020
Galerie XII Paris
Specialized in architecture, Mussa photographs the theatres of Italy, which she considers not only
as historic sites. She thinks of them as “open forms”, spaces
transformed by time. Patrizia Mussa wants to capture the very essence of
these places.
Since 2016, her work goes beyond simple photography. She uses pastel to
enhance her prints, in a very subtle way. Thus reinterpreted in photopastels, as she calls them, her images go beyond reality. The artist proposes a personal and revisited reading, giving her own definition of theatre. Because the
theatre is also a place of the imagination where dream and poetry coexist, colors
allow her to imagine it as she would wish it has been, be, and remain.
