Below the lunar path a creature with an alien appearance is wandering, surrounded by an ecosystem in which he does not know whether to mirror himself: the human being.

Giovanni Oberti , Andrea Zucchini: Dalla luna ai piedi
May 18 -  June 10., 2018
CURRENT, Milano

There were two moons in the sky – a small moon and a large one. They were floating there side by side. The large one was the usual moon thats he always seen. It was nearly full, and yellow. But there was another moon right next to it. It had an unfamiliar shape. It was somewhat lopsided, and greenish, as though thinly covered with moss. Murakami Haruki, 1Q84, Book 1

Below the lunar path a creature with an alien appearance is wandering, surrounded by an ecosystem in which he does not know whether to mirror himself: the human being.

Post-modern Frankenstein, his chest bears a vertical scar that runs through it in its entirety, formed by skin torn by the double tugging of his desires: one that leads him to look for a home in the natural world and its millennial flow; the other that pushes him to emancipate from a series of issues that are part of it: the limit, the imperfection, the slow progress of time, marked by the phases of the moon.

At Current an environment takes shape, inhabited by incomplete beings – or creatures that reached their extremes, giving life to a landscape somewhat alien, and somewhat familiar.
