"Cornicello" by artists Léa Cammarata & Louise Talarico
There remains a full house that will soon be empty. Built brick by brick, decorated with thousands of knick-knacks that have been moved a hundred times throughout the house, walls re-re-re-painted as well. Léa Cammarata wondered how all these precious things, which they brought from their country and acquired in their adopted country, would also disappear, be sorted, kept, discarded, framed, as she explored her grandparents' house, Italian immigrants who arrived in France in the 1950s.
For this exhibition, Léa Cammarata invited videographer Louise Talarico, with whom she has been working for some years on the fantasized and speculated life of objects. Both navigate between the worlds of cinema and contemporary art.
The scenography is a playground to revive places and objects. Using set leaves, they created a transitional space between ruins and home. They offer both a fiction and the setting of this fiction, with Italy as the backdrop. The Cornicello, a good luck symbol, is represented in the exhibition in various forms and replicated ways. This way of testing its existence is a maneuver not to forget and to remember.
