YOU WILL NEVER WALK ALONE

Cécile di Giovanni 

Opening 15 October 2021

Exhibition 15 October - 6 November, 2021

YWNWA - a solo show by Paris-based multi-disciplinary artist Cécile di Giovanni - an immersive game without rules.

The sculptural work ‘YWNWA Totem’ (2021), based on a mu ren zhuang which translated means “wooden man post”, stands as an ambient threat in the centre of the space. The works around it arm, protect, and modify our bodies. Inspired by real and fictional situations, Giovanni tries, not without irony, to reveal through the symbolic strength that these objects and materials induce, the power, the complexity, and the sides of the human mind when it is backed into its more extreme corners.

Childhood, its ruptures, nostalgia and innocence give way to the inevitable violence of things coming to an end ...
