The site specific exhibition “Davide Bramante Pan_Estesìa. Tutta la bellezza che ho negli occhi” opened on Tuesday 14 May in the Galleria Regionale of Palazzo Bellomo in Syracuse (Sicily). The exhibition is curated by Laura Milani and the Civita Sicilia team, promoted by the Museum that hosts it, produced and organized by Civita Sicilia.
The creations of Davide Bramante, located along the rooms, in dialogue with the Byzantine marbles or with Antonello da Messina, with the Aragonese ceramics or with the Gagini and Laurana, tell of an intimate love for their places of origin, Syracuse.
The exhibition, an original series of photographs and clays, weaves itineraries in search of the profound and new meanings preserved by the artworks: an all-encompassing journey into the memory of the beauty that passes from the eyes to the heart and remains there awaiting a time to the meeting and for the story. A meta-photography is born that breaks down walls and destroys physical and geographical barriers from the rooms of the Museum. Hands and faces that in reality are distant come closer, real, painted or sculpted architecture merges, while glances captured by artworks admired in different cities meet and speak to each other, breaking physical, temporal and material barriers. And if the artist’s eyes are the weapon that captures the Museum artworks, revealing neuronal and mnemonic connections, invisible and unsuspected, his hands also contribute to the sublimation of memory: clay, man’s age-old companion, it becomes the alter ego of the photographic shot.
