The National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art presents the work YOU ARE MINE with which Daniela Comani tackles the extremely topical issue of femicide. Through a site-specific installation conceived for the Bazzani Corridor of the National Gallery , the artist shares his reflection by exhibiting a series of reproductions of newspaper articles collected, selected, archived and manipulated, which report news of murders that took place within the home .

But this time, a different point of view is given: "I inverted the chronicle of our newspapers (the man becomes a woman, the executioner victim and vice versa), thus inviting us to reflect on the phenomenon of femicide and its absurdities" (Daniela Comani ). In this series of texts - images appears a chronicle populated by impetuous and violent women, jealous wives, ex-girlfriends who do not accept betrayal or the end of a relationship, alongside men who suffer violence of all kinds, beaten, chased, raped.

Comani turns this cruel reality upside down by reversing gender roles, making men victims of violence within their own homes. The effect of this subversive reversal is surprising, precisely because we are used to identifying the culprit in the male figure ”, these are the words of the curator Miriam Schoofs.
