Existences – Impressions of Life: contemporary group show at Borgo Pio

Existences – Impressions of Life: a collective journey in central Rome

Opened on 2 April, Existences – Impressions of Life brings together a range of contemporary practices at Borgo Pio Art Gallery. Rather than following a single narrative, the exhibition assembles fragments of life and vision where painting, sculpture and photography converge to investigate being and memory.

The show emphasizes emotional depth: marks, colors and forms are used to trace personal trajectories and inner landscapes. Recurring motifs such as the sea and the female figure act as symbols of transformation, origin and resilience.

What to see

• Painting and sculpture: works that examine materiality and gesture, creating spaces for reflection on identity.
• Photography: shots that reinterpret architecture and nature, inviting intimate and evocative readings.
• Participatory performance: a live intervention by the duo Dopolotto engaged visitors directly, turning the artwork into a communal space and expanding the exhibition’s meaning.

Artists on view

The group show features artists with varied languages, including: Andrea Trisciuzzi, Alexandra Schaffer, Dopolotto, Dudley, Gabriella Rossi, Gaia Maria Galati, Giampaolo D’Arpino, Luisa Riccitelli, Luisa Muzi, Maria Camilla Reali, Maria Carpino, Massimo Ceccaccio, Paolo Mariani, Paolo Pardi, Roberta Reposati, Rosella Giorgetti.
