A Blurry Aftertaste. Eleonora Agostini

A Blurry Aftertaste

7th October 2021 – 7th November 2021

“The house must be the case of life, the machine of happiness” Le Corbusier

We live in such a globalized daily life that our houses are less and less ours and more of the internet. This need to move within a space that becomes our home and to remain in the constant comfort zone is a continuum in “A Blurry Aftertaste” where Eleonora Agostini narrates through photography, performance, and sculpture how to live the home through daily gestures from memories generate new intersection scenarios. That family space in which Agostini projects her photographs, where both objects and people are in constant sway, defying the gravity of movements and scenarios. Building new visual environments that transfer us to those domestic games that cease everyday movements to become scenographic.

Eleonora Agostini shifts between photography, moving image, performance and sculpture, exploring and analysing the construction of personal identities and behaviours. Her work is strongly connected with the experience of our surroundings and she is interested in finding a possible fracture within our socially constructed rules and the spaces we inhabit. Through the study of preconceived structures, whether physical or psychological, Eleonora aims to investigate the difficulties of how human experience is constructed.

She is interested in the psychological action of re-enactment used as a tool to investigate and gain insight into one’s life: re-enacting and re-imagining old memories and past experiences as a way to unfold and observe our personal histories. Eleonora refers to the every-day as a space full of potential and possibilities for quests, incorporating ordinary objects and activities within her images to express and navigate its different layers and meanings. Humor and absurdity are used as vessels for the discovery of new meaning within the mundane, and to transform an ordinary space into a place of experimentation.
