Condition/Report

Giulia Leo's project

Academic year

2025 - 2026

Condition/Report applies the logic of museum conservation records to the human body: nothing is corrected; only what exists is described. Under ultraviolet light, textures, flaws, and artifice emerge: the products we apply and the traces we leave as we negotiate our appearence.
It is an inquiry into the boundary between body and product. Not provocation but transparency: a material condition worthy of documentation, like a work of art that, between restorations, simply tries not to lose itself.
 

The Searchlights is the second chapter of Ti vorrei dire, a three-year project developed in collaboration with Gallerie d'Italia - Torino, a part of Intesa Sanpaolo. The projects map out the urgencies of our time through the perspective of a new generation. Ecological and climate crises, dynamics of power and representation, identity, mental health, precarity, memory and narratives of the present run through the works, shaping a collective account that restores complexity to what is too often reduced to a label.
