Spring
at Palazzo Fortuny – Part II – Anne-Karin Furunes – Shadows. Anne-Karin Furunes – Shadows exhibition, until
July 14, at Palazzo Fortuny is curated by Elena Povellato with an exhibition display by Daniela
Ferretti. The Norwegian artist’s large-scale
portraits drawn from historic photographic archives are created by perforating
canvas. At Palazzo Fortuny she had the opportunity to see the photo archives, getting
closer to the world of Mariano Fortuny through the photographic documentation
of his work, his life in the laboratory and the trips that took him to distant
lands where he looked for new ideas for his research. The subjects used, were
selected from the photographic portraits that Mariano had done of the people
who populated the everyday life in Palazzo Pesaro degli Orfei, offering a
contemporary light to the silent shadows evoked from the last century.

Anne-Karin
Furunes – Shadows. Every art work by the Norwegian artist lives through the
light that touches it; a beam of light can illuminate but also darken the image
that then is slowly set before our eyes as light moves through the thousands of
holes that cover every canvas.
