Transparencies: Isabella Corda’s New Installation at Magazzino Muse

Transparencies: Isabella Corda at Magazzino Muse

Magazzino Muse presents Transparencies, a new installation by Roman artist Isabella Corda that examines the interplay between body, material and memory. The work centres on plexiglass panels bound with cords: simple components whose movement and tension alter shadows and spatial perception.

Corda revisits manual practices and bodily gestures—referring to karada, the Japanese word for "body"—turning material into a record of the actions that shape it. The knots on the panels recall artisanal traditions and create a balance between technical precision and personal narrative, described by the organisers as more of a "static dance" than a fixed choreography.
