lt;p>The Lia Rumma Gallery is delighted to present <a target="_blank" href="/Artist/Marzia-Migliora/5A72A710E14449DB">Marzia Migliora</a> Fame d’aria, a solo show that opens on Sunday 30 October 2022 at 12.00 pm at its Naples branch.The project presents seven new works by the artist who has recently explored a multispecies approach in order to create new sensitive relationships, imagining how things might appear from the perspective of animals and plants.The title of the exhibition refers to the concept of hunger, a human instinct that has had an impact on, and continues to have an impact on, the dynamics of survival, appropriation and “extractivism”, treating Earth as a bundle of resources. However, in this context, she turns her attention to the hunger for air, an allusion to the medical condition that can precede death but also, more generally, to the condition of widespread asphyxia which needs to be left behind as it is an indicator of a level of toxicity that makes life impossible; it is a final cry of alarm before she turns her attention elsewhere, to survive by expanding our perception towards the emergence of new relationships between humans and non-humans.The works presented in the exhibition include the sculpture Lek which conveys a sense of urgency by being based on assisted breathing, demonstrated by an assemblage seemingly put together in an emergency, featuring pieces that are heterogeneous. In biology, a lek is a space or gathering devoted to courtship in which the males of a species engage in competitive displays to entice females. In this work, the amorous encounter is shown with the impossible attempt to create a machine that makes it possible to hear the breathing of fish, inaudible to the human ear because it has a frequency of 40 hertz, but is based on a procedure of extracting oxygen from water through the gills, emulated here by the medical respirator, sadly very pertinent during an era of pandemics.
