Nilufar Gallery announces TERRA (IN)FIRMA, the first solo exhibition of the French-Lebanese artist Flavie Audi, in Italy. The show weaves through a geological narrative shaping a utopian world where real and virtual meet with the intention to destabilize our encounter with the terrestrial so to imagine a posthuman topography. In navigating this uncanny plain, we encounter fragments of hyper-liths dispersed through space, rupturing our sense of stability; rocks become fluid, tilting on their axis, conglomerating. Forms caress and nudge each other in tender relations. Digital aesthetics warps our sense of material nature, hybridising the organic and the synthetic. Ultimately, TERRA (IN)FIRMA confronts us with the Promethean dilemma: should the Earth be treated as a resource whose utility is determined primarily by human needs? Can human technology overcome our environmental problems? Nilufar Gallery, via della Spiga 32, 20121 Milano +39 02 78019 â€˘ Nilufar Depot viale V.
