A City in the Night
Women by Roberto Antonaci
19 May 2008, 7 pm
Mosaique Livingroom
23 Ngo Van So
Fashion, women, night, big city, between dream and reality, rapid movements and waiting.
Women by Roberto Antonaci move between shining asphalt, headlights in the dark and neon lights. They are like angels in the night, like a vision between dream and reality, they move rapidly and stay steady, with the setting of a big city.
The city is also the protagonist of the second part of Antonaci’s exhibition, “L’essenza dei vuoti”. Roberto Antonaci introduces a methaphysical reality made by fragments of urban landscapes. An unreal black&white city in which it is a pleasure to get lost.
His work has been published in some of the most important Italian fashion magazines such as Casaviva, Modasport, and Vogue.
