Sara Galiasso’s exhibition ‘The territory that inhabits me’ brings together and condenses many of the processes that have defined her artistic career. In a necessarily schematic and partial reading, we can identify at least three key operations that shape her work: assembled sculpture, created through the combination of parts and materials of different origins; the tension arising from the opposition between nature and culture; and, finally, the meticulous design of the exhibition space itself. The gallery is conceived as an all-encompassing experience, a kind of narrative space that proposes visual pathways, arranges silences and establishes formal counterpoints.

All these operations seek to “make visible” elements of the real world (wood, stone, bone) that, as pure matter, remain indistinguishable from one another in nature. Sara Galiasso searches for, selects and arranges materials endowed with a particular significance. These fragments carry “memory” because they retain traces of their previous existence, and they come to life through their interaction, gaining renewed value in contrast with polished metal. Yet they are also meaningful traces for the artist: imprints or “portable” forms encountered through her explorations and experiences of displacement. They are “territories inhabited” by Galiasso, recalling a process of subjective appropriation and rewriting, through which the natural object is transformed into a cultural artefact.
