Zagato exhibits in Venice. ‘The creative room‘, is the art project organized by A.topos Venice Gallery in which Zagato is finalist.
How to recreate oneself? Exercising the gaze towards the outside? Repositioning self as subject/object?
A.topos Venice (www.atoposvenice.com) becomes an extension of the artist’s room and becomes a spokesperson to describe the social challenges imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as the exceptional nature of the lockdown and social distancing.
Zagato uses art and creativity as tools for reacting to difficulties and finding an alternative way to keep moving forward when it seems that the path is closed. This is how Zagato metaphorically describes her work during the pandemic and featured by A.topos Venice:
‘There is a place within us that we never want to be insulted, never soiled, never hurt or raped. I believe it is the purest and most true part of ourselves, which makes us different from everyone else and when we return there we know we are home.
It is said that it is the safest place in the world because there is no storm capable of destroying its walls‘.
