Site-specific Installation in the Gallery of Frescoes, Villa Contarini, Piazzola sul Brenta, Padova, IT

Entrexit - a fusion of the words “entry” and “exit" - is a site-specific piece composed of a pair of shutters from an early twentieth-century home belonging to the artist’s ancestors. The work, standing before the viewer, is framed by the long sequence of windows that punctuate the Gallery’s length.

Sganzerla, inspired by the perspective play of the Gallery’s doors - each opening into the next - and by the superimposition of spatial planes, chose to create a piece that would serve as a “threshold among thresholds,” inviting reflection on the concepts of passage, crossing, and transcendence.
