Abstract

The volume documents through an extensive iconographic documentation and with the essays by of Paola Zatti, Jennifer Higgie, Salvatore Settis and Francesco Stocchi, the exhibition As Above, So Below, in which Elisa Sighicelli created a dialogue with the sculptures of the GAM storeroom. This is an environment composed of about eight hundred pieces of which the artist immortalized through a complex photographic experimentation single works and groups, in order to explore the expressive potential of a world that soon - thanks to a reorganization that will lead to a new layout in the museum rooms - will be modified, thus making it disappear.
