Le quattro soglie
Egg-yolk tempera on wood · Series of 4
194 × 64 cm
Ph. Elena Guerreschi
The work is made on four original doors of an old wardrobe, transformed into painted doors: symbolic thresholds opening onto a feminine, visionary bestiary. Each panel is inhabited by an anthropomorphic hen embodying a different quality: curious desire, watchful strength, silent transgression and generative wisdom. The henhouse, a recurring element in the artist's research, is understood as a matriarchal and resilient microcosm — a space of care, waiting and transformation in which possibilities are kept and brooded. The installation suspends the panels in space, with the raw back facing the viewer. The doors thus become thresholds that show what normally remains hidden, inviting us to cross a boundary between reality and imagination.
