From 15 September to 4 November 2018, at the Palazzo Ducale in Sassuolo (MO) is held the personal artist of the Brazilian and Franciscan friar, Sidival Fila (1962), entitled Prospettive relative. The exhibition, organized by the Gruppo Giovani Imprenditori Confindustria Emilia Area Centro, presents a series of site-specific installations and large works that interact with the most prestigious architectural and pictorial spaces of the Palazzo Ducale di Sassuolo, such as the Salone delle Guardie, the Camera della Fortuna, the Camera dell’Amore, la Camera delle Virtù estensi. Ideally to introduce the exhibition, at the entrance of the Palace, the opera Fenice, one of the best known of Sidival Fila, will be set up. The ancient and the modern become protagonists of a reversal of perspectives, where the theme of truth is placed in the limelight, showing its relativity and at the same time the absolute dependence on the perception of each person.

The present installations aim to confuse the visitor’s perception, through an unusual and personal visit experience, while the large monochromes on the windows that look towards the Scalone d’Onore and towards the Peschiera, create a combination of strong aesthetic impact with the seventeenth-century frescoes.

From humble materials to waste objects, to free and introflected fabrics, in his constant research is the contact with the material, to which the artist aims to return the voice, to tell its story, to make it feel its vibration.
