Luce Resinanti
A “Cabinet of Curiosities” in reverse, where the artist does not select “rare, new, or unique things” to preserve, but instead chooses materials and objects that were in need of redemption.
The artist was born in Milan, where she still lives and works. She was trained by her father, Bruno Resina, a prolific experimental artist active from the 1960s to the early 1990s. She pursued a parallel path in music, studying at the Milan Conservatory and the Faculty of Musicology. Since 2012, she has regularly exhibited in collective and solo shows across Italy.

Found metal pieces.
Artwork Description:
The artwork consists of 16 small frames showcasing metal pieces, found in unusual places: rusted bolts wedged in the stones of a European square, old tools in a forgotten toolbox, safety pins, coins found in a flower pot, and bits of iron protruding from a park bed. These discarded, functionless objects, once destined for oblivion, are given a second life by the artist, who sees their potential for expression, rescuing them from decay.
