The exhibition project Architecture of a metamorphosis originates from a precise authorial vision: Chiara Capobianco, artist, curator and creator of the entire conceptual and spatial structure, conceived, designed and realized her works specifically for this exhibition in close dialogue with Michele Citro, curator ad affectum, a critical support figure, establishing a direct and inseparable relationship with the space of the Galleria delle Vasche. The realization and implementation of the exhibition structure were developed with the technical coordination of the setup by Lorenzo Torda, production and setup manager.
 

The narrative of the exhibition path is entrusted to Alfonso Tornitore, a historian and art critic active in Rome at the Ministry of Culture, who carries out research activities with particular attention to the relationship between contemporary art, education and new technologies, including artificial intelligence.

Architecture of a metamorphosis is a unitary and immersive exhibition project that investigates transformation as a permanent condition of existence. Transformation is not understood as a landing or promise of rebirth, but as a state of continuous, fragile and unstable tension. The idea that underpins the exhibition project is inspired by the myths narrated in Ovid's Metamorphoses, whose narrated motifs, which have fluid identities, body, desire, loss and resistance as their subject, become a tool to question the present.

At the center of the research emerges the female body, understood as a place of mutation and strength, forced to constantly redefine itself between external pressures and internal processes. Change is not celebrated, but exposed in its emotional and material complexity.
 

The exhibition unfolds as a physical and symbolic crossing, in which the public is guided along a narrative path made of thresholds, fractures, passages and resistances, articulated in seven chapters, conceived as broad narrative areas that contain within them a plurality of works, languages and visual situations. Each chapter is not a closed section, but an open field of exploration, in which the visitor is invited to linger, go back, discover new relationships and references. The path does not suggest a univocal reading or a finite number of elements, but aims to convey the sensation of a continuous discovery, in which the works progressively emerge as fragments of a larger and constantly transforming organism.
