Ghosts and houses

Filippo La Vaccara

Mantova Museo Urbano Diffuso

Mantova Museo Urbano Diffuso

Sicilian by birth and Milanese by adoption, the artist follows a precise inquiry over time, building imaginative works in which characters, human and nonhuman, appear in dialogue with the deep space of the surrounding environment. Often lost are the creatures that animate the paintings and the sculptures with their frightened but somewhat cheerful presence. La Vaccara thus creates a new universe, certainly poetic and dreamlike, which, according to the same author, assumes unpredictable outcomes. Here, in a world that seems almost inspired by Buzzati's drawings, a mysterious man and woman meet without truly meeting each other and mirror their ghost impalpability, in the sarcastic use of the sheets with which the children cover themselves, hoping in vain to disappear .
