Silvia Naddeo. Trasfigurazioni del gusto

 

 

"Food and nutrition are two favorite subjects of the artistic production of Silvia Naddeo who in the exhibition "Trasfigurazioni del gusto" collects different works to invite us to reflect on the different habits of contemporary approach to food. For example MyPanino (2013) comes from the observation of the new and widespread habit of taking pictures of food and share the photos on social networks. It is the global phenomenon defined Foodstagram or for the more critical Food Porn (pornography food) for which the food is not an "energy" for the body but  a fad or a real obsession as evidenced by one of the latest trends according to which one tattoos its favorite dish or even the sign of the restaurant or fast food where she/he usually are customers. In the work of Silvia Naddeo visitors can create their own sandwich with the ingredients provided, strictly mosaic, and then photograph themselves next to their creation. The picture thus obtained will be loaded in real time on the site dedicated to the work (www.mypaninoproject.com). In another work A cena con (2015) Silvia Naddeo joins the mosaic and virtual reality created by Google Cardboard technology. The work consists of a set table and two chairs, one for visitors and one for the artist whose dinner is dedicated. People who sit at the table must wear a visor with which are projected in a parallel reality, remembering how often we dinner a screen (TV, smartphone, etc.) in front of us." Extract from the text written by Raffaele Quattrone on the occasion of the exhibition.
