"NOW"
2020, sunlight, earth rotation, plant, colored foil, paper five-part photo series, each 70 x 50cm, framed
We live in a present and a society that seeks to shorten every activity. Speed dating is common, fast food is consumed, and a nap should be enough for recovery. Liddy Scheffknecht, within the exhibition NOW, deals with cyclical events that cannot be accelerated. The artistic materials and tools she uses are sunlight and the rotation of the Earth. Using a mask attached to a window, the sunlight is sculpted into a specific form. The resulting light spot is constantly moving within the space, briefly connecting to an object in the room at a given moment. The movement of the sunlight reflection and the moments of this journey are captured through photographs and videos. In other works, a light spot in the form of writing moves across paper and is captured in drawings, or manifests in the appearance of sculptures.

The gallery
Founded in October 2010 by Rosario Caltabiano, the 22,48 m2 gallery aims to be a singular exhibition space and a place for the dissemination of contemporary works from the international scene, with a particular focus on emerging French artists.
Since its creation, the gallery has organized and produced over 60 exhibitions. With an eye open to new technologies, they all have in common a questioning of the evolution of contemporary art.
Through its innovative research work, it strives to reflect on a new vision of the art gallery, and in this sense, is an integral part of the latest generation of art market players.
