Carmela De Falco (Naples, 1994) develops an artistic practice that investigates how language, gestures, and memory are embedded in materials and spaces. Through sculpture, installation, and text, she works with textiles, metal, and found objects to examine how social orders are established, repeated, and sometimes disrupted.
Her solo show listening with eyes, watching with ears, inspired by the anthropologist Diego Carpitella, invites viewers into an immersive engagement where seeing and listening intertwine. The exhibition explores how materials can bear witness to memory, belonging, and the fragile structures that hold communities together, revealing their vulnerability.
In a global context marked by rigid political narratives and rapidly shifting social fabrics, De Falco’s work emphasizes slowness, ambiguity, and embodied memory. Rather than offering immediate answers, her practice unsettles and provokes reflection on the tensions of the present, showing how apparent clarity can conceal forms of coercion.
