The
AA29 Project Room is proud to present The
Next Flow,
the solo show of Isabella Pers that will take place from March 24th
to May 31st 2017 curated by Pietro Gaglianò.
The
Next Flow
collects and combines three of Isabella Pers’ projects, all
inspired by the emergence of climate change, political crises,
internal and international ones, and the multiple consequences of an
unbalanced relationship between human activity and nature.
In
the exhibition
converge the main themes of the artist's search: the observation of
social cultures and natural ecosystems, the need of conditions for a
dialogue, the planetary crisis and changes accelerated by
globalization and, above all, a strong feeling of individual
responsibility. This personal attitude of Isabella is reflected in
her artistic practice where relationships are woven, juxtaposed
remote worlds from each other, stitched distances. Since the story of
Ioane Teitiota, a citizen of the Kiribati Islands, the first climate
refugee of this time, Isabella develops an intimate and passionate
reflection through the use of photography, painting and video to tell
stories of distant people, united by a border destiny and migration,
and to launch a call for attention, perception, responsibility.

La aA29 project Room
di Milano è lieta di presentare The
Next Flow,
la mostra personale di Isabella Pers che si svolgerà dal 24 marzo al
31 maggio 2017
a cura di Pietro Gaglianò.
The Next Flow
raccoglie
e coniuga tre progetti di Isabella Pers, tutti ispirati all’emergenza
dei cambiamenti climatici, delle crisi politiche, interne e
internazionali, e delle molte conseguenze di un rapporto non
equilibrato tra antropizzazione e natura.
In
mostra convergono i temi portanti della ricerca dell’artista:
l’osservazione degli ecosistemi sociali, culturali e naturali, la
necessità di condizioni per il dialogo, le crisi planetarie e i
cambiamenti accelerati dalla globalizzazione e, sopra ogni cosa, un
fortissimo sentimento di responsabilità individuale. Questa
attitudine personale di Isabella si riflette nella sua pratica
artistica dove vengono tessute relazioni, accostati mondi tra loro
remoti, ricucite distanze. A partire dalla vicenda di Ioane
Teitiota, un cittadino delle isole Kiribati, il primo richiedente
asilo per cambiamento climatico, si sviluppa una riflessione intima e
appassionata che fa uso di fotografia, pittura e video per raccontare
storie di persone lontane, unite da un destino di confine e
migrazione, e per lanciare una richiesta di attenzione, di
percezione, di responsabilità.
