EXHIBITION
The Galleria SACCHETTI shows for the first time in Ticino works by the German artist Michael Schuster. Dried and pressed sycamore leaves serve as the material for Schuster’s artistic work. Using a scalpel, he carefully and expertly cuts out figurative silhouettes from single leaves, which are then applied to paper or assembled in the form of wall installations. Thematically, Schuster deals with the preservation and retention of memories. His cut-outs are based on photographs, including snapshots from his family album, which he transforms from the personal into the universal, bringing them to life in another medium, shifted in time and space. Schuster lives and works in Berlin.
During the vernissage, Erry & Kenzo will perform music with the guitar and the hang.
VERNISSAGE: 26th of April, from 6pm to 8pm, with the presence of the artist
DURATION: from 27th of April until 22nd of June
