YUVAL AVITAL

“Yuval Avital's Anatomie squisiste at the Civic Museums of Reggio Emilia is the exhibition that opens The Bestiary of the Earth of the Reggio Parma Festival: a universe of creatures and creations that take the public on an unprecedented journey through the spaces of the Museums to discover its exquisite anatomies. The exhibition marks a twofold starting point in Avital's investigation of the human-animal: on the one hand it asks "what is a body, an organ? How do we perceive a set of things as a body? What are the boundaries between scientific anatomy and the anatomy of art?"; on the other hand, in the logic that unites the exhibitions in the program, it represents the first stage, that of childhood - i.e. play, dream, amazement, the subconscious.”
