For his solo-show in Milan, the Italian artist Marcello Maloberti presents photographs, drawings and video installation: expressive languages which although dissimilar are touched by the same sensibility and somehow changed into the same material.

In the corridor of the gallery we are received by a series of photographs of faces that introduce us to “the threshold”, which is the typical dimension of Maloberti’s artistic world. These are reflections of passengers’ faces on a train, captured while their vacuous stares wander over the landscape.

In the first room is displayed a series of drawings in blue felt pen. The strokes of the felt pen are very dense, turning the paper’s surface into a sort of new skin.

In the second room a video installation again proposes the topic of travel; reality is now presented from a slightly different point of view. A succession of monitors show heads of people on the subway from the back; every image slowly turns into another one, and we can perceive their faces and their eyes. A sound emerges like a memory or a mild obsession. We can hear this sound everywhere in the gallery.
