Body-Broken-Bodies. Monica Mazzone solo show

Body-Broken-Bodies

From March 20 to May 8, 2025, Studio la Linea Verticale presents Body-Broken-Bodies, a solo exhibition by Monica Mazzone, accompanied by a text by Nicola Semprini Cesari. The exhibition features a series of unpublished works created specifically for the occasion, in which the artist explores the tension between balance and precariousness, abstraction and presence, logic and spirituality.

Winner of the VAF Stiftung Prize 2024, Mazzone was recently featured in a solo room as part of the finalists’ exhibition at the Mart Museum in Rovereto, which concluded on February 9.

Abstract

Body-Broken-Bodies is an investigation into the body and its relationship with the world as a measure of knowledge. The works of Monica Mazzone develop through a rigorous geometric system that, despite its apparent stability, reveals an intrinsic instability: impossible angles, twists, and tensions generate structures on the verge of collapse, testifying to a continuous search for balance.

In the artist’s poetic vision, disintegration is never an end, but a generative process that leads towards the absolute. As she states in her notes, “Immanence and transcendence coincide,” suggesting a dimension in which form is not only matter but also a universal principle. The body becomes a paradigm for interpreting the world, a measure through which to explore the relationship between energy and structure, between the visible and the invisible.

Mazzone’s investigation is nourished by a confrontation between mathematical thought and mystical tension. Her research moves between contemplation and construction, between order and instability, where the geometric sign becomes imbued with emotional and spiritual meanings. The fracture, therefore, is not negation but transformation: every form, in its precarious balance, becomes a witness to a process that is both destruction and creation, a constant dialogue between the finite and the infinite.

As Nicola Semprini Cesari writes, “An art based on the universal language of geometric figures, the substance of a rationality to which the artist entrusts the task of formalizing the rules that must order the flow of emotions and direct the creative impulse toward perfect absolute forms ‘that enclose the essence and the essential – an obsession that cannot be explained.’”
