MoMaz: My House Your House
@ Italian Cultural Institute of Chicago
500 N Michigan Ave, Suite 1450, Chicago, IL 60611
On view through Friday, January 20th
The Italian Cultural Institute of Chicago presents “My House Your House,” a solo show by Italian photographer MoMaz, Monica Mazzotto. The photographs of MoMaz begin in abandoned spaces, representing an opportunity for Nature to come back center stage, and to reclaim a lost and wounded kingdom. A combination of irony, imperfections and harmony, these photographs represent the intersection between the artists’ two identities: ethologist and photographer.
In this series, MoMaz presents us with abandoned spaces from a decadent Detroit, but inhabited by the livelihood of animals, a vital element inside the ruin of our world. In this unusual balance, there is space for everyone. It is a game where the likelihood of the context loses importance, and the possibilities of a new reality become the true focus of the experience.
Open Wednesday through Friday, from 10:00am to 4:00pm
Visits by appointment only
