Cappella Celesia
Frammenti
A visual and material reflection on the human condition: a work that spans time, memory and fragility. In fragmented reality, interlocking compositions, vibrant colours, oxidations and mirrors merge into visual art. Invisible joints hold it all together, while colours and oxidations tell shifting stories, made of present and past. The mirror reflects a shattered space, creating a dance of light and shadow. In this universe, beauty emerges from the chaotic harmony of elements, at times architecturally interconnected, inviting us to explore the richness of each fragment, as steps, good and bad, of life.
Labanto is an artistic project born in Turin on the initiative of Francesca Brinatti, who reinterprets the theme of the mirror through a personal and creatively intense gaze; unexpectedly far from the interest in the reflected image alone.
An architect and artist, Brinatti founded her research workshop by breathing new life into the legacy of AVAT (Arte Vetraria Antolisei Torino), a historic excellence active since the 1950s in the creation of mirrors to enrich antique furnishings. Her works are the result of a profound mastery of the ancient 18th century silver-plating technique, where the material itself - liquid silver, oxidative minerals and glass - becomes the protagonist.
