Self-portrait at work is the first major anthological exhibition dedicated to Elisabetta Benassi (Rome, 1966) by an institution active in the city where the artist lives and works. The exhibition project presents over twenty years of his production, juxtaposing historical works from the early 2000s with recent works and three new productions created specifically for the occasion.

Moving freely between the most diverse languages, mediums and imaginaries - which has always been a distinctive feature of his research - Benassi critically observes the cultural, critical and artistic legacy of modernity with the intention of «entering history not to quote it but to be able to make it reliving in the present, creating a sort of intrusion", suggesting an always paradoxical idea of time.
