Reality, in its complexity, manifests through infinite variations, all determined by our perception. In this incessant flow, images are not mere static representations; they persist, resist time, dissolve, and reemerge in new forms, revealing their fluid and changing nature. Alessandro Giannì, with his new corpus of works, invites the public to explore this unstable territory, where the visible and the invisible intertwine in a continuous dialogue. As philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty stated, "We never see the world as a given, but as a field of possibilities."

The title of the exhibition, "Multiple Unrealities," is inspired by a painting from 2018 and introduces a series of works conceived between 2024 and 2025. Here, Giannì interrogates the very nature of the image, deconstructed and reworked through a creative process that enhances the evocative power of fragments. The subjects of his canvases are extracted from diverse contexts and stripped of their original meaning: sacred images, details from masterpieces of the past, or elements from his previous works. Torn from their context, these fragments transform into floating bodies, beings suspended between recognition and abstraction, memory and reinvention. This operation is not merely an act of removal but a rewriting of visual language that invites the viewer to reconsider their relationship with the image. In this sense, Giannì aligns himself with the practice of artists such as Gerhard Richter, who, through his use of "blurr," suggests that the truth of the image is intrinsically linked to its subjective perception.
