Not A Lot, Just Forever By Anna Adamo at Mucho Mas!

Curated by Mucho Mas! and Giangavino Pazzola, this solo exhibition presents Anna Adamo's archive as the plot of a dreamlike journey made up of unexpected associations.

Overview

A cold wind blows beneath a silvery sky, brushing against two punks crossing a city canal in combat boots. Water falls on a woman's head, transforming into a river of blood-coloured memories: memories of a hard life, made up of daily struggles. A fiery hairdryer spits out hot air that twists around her hair, opening it up like rays of a scorching sun illuminating a beach where a woman breastfeeds her daughter under a light that gives her no respite. Two parakeets declare their toxic love with the words “I really love you”. A woman approaches her daughter, whispering in her ear, “tomorrow it will snow”, while a little girl, swinging on a swing, hums Adrianne Lenker's “not a lot, just forever”. The settings described above are just a few examples of the imagery that characterises the rich photographic production of Anna Adamo (Sesto San Giovanni, 1991), both enclosed in an exhibition itinerary of reading and discovery of a poetics that moves between the private sphere and the public dimension, tracing an atlas of emotions.

Curated by Mucho Mas! and Giangavino Pazzola, this solo exhibition presents Anna Adamo's archive as the plot of a dreamlike journey made up of unexpected associations, in which each thread contributes to composing a tapestry of multiple narratives, all generated by the same hand. With Not A Lot, Just Forever, Mucho Mas! presents a free selection of works that stand out for their transversal narrative capacity, for a subjective and simple yet enduring gaze, just as Adrianne Lenker suggests in her song. A constant practice that observes the world relentlessly, like a never-ending weave: an instinctive gesture that does not seek fulfilment but is endlessly renewed. Anna Adamo explores memory and family ties; mourning, transformation and the underground, investigating human dynamics and intimate relationships with a gaze that intertwines the private and collective dimensions.
