Punta Gallery / 12.03.2026 – 5.05.2026

"Odyssea – The Song of the Sirens and the Salt of the Earth" is an exhibition divided into two interrelated parts that build a common narrative about the transformation, identity, and future of society. The exhibition is created in 2024 and presented at the Spiagga Libera gallery in Marseille and in Paris with the aim of exploring different dimensions of contemporary existence through symbols such as the sea and salt, which intertwine the past, present, and future. *** After a phantasmagorical journey from the ocean depths to the surface of the earth, from the mythical fish-woman to a contemporary emancipated figure during the show presented at Buna festival, Varna “Odyssea – The Song of the Sirens” – a nebulous, post-capitalist world now emerges, inhabited by creatures seeking change. “The Salt of the Earth” thus proposes exploring a different space-time, one that is hard to place in a linear history and resembles a narrative of anticipation. Salt, known for its corrosive and purifying properties, materializes here as piles of charred debris within which the artists’ works unfold.
