Information
Valentina Murabito’s latest exhibition, La donna del mare, invites viewers to explore the deep connections between mythology, nature, and the human condition through her intricate photo-sculptures. Inspired by Henrik Ibsen’s play The Lady from the Sea, Murabito reinterprets themes of freedom, longing, and instinct, blending them with Greek mythology and political philosophy. Her innovative analog photography technique creates three-dimensional, surreal artworks that blur the line between fiction and reality. What role do ancient myths play in our understanding of modern existence?
