Our collaborative work Endurance, created with photographer Ivan Piano, has been on view since yesterday as part of the group exhibition Un tempo altro. Estetica della lentezza, curated by Barbara Pavan within the Biennale OFF program of the 3rd International Biennial of Contemporary Fiber Art in Valtopina.
Ivan Piano, Federica Patera & Andrea Sbra Perego
Endurance, 2026
Giclée print on fine art photographic paper, gold thread, nails
34 × 25.5 cm
Endurance emerged from a dialogue between Piano’s photograph Chart Paper (2025), from the series Wunderkammer Vanitas, and Patera and Perego’s tableau Can You Understand? (2022). Gold thread and nails bring together the prolonged time of pinhole photography and the patient, repetitive gestures of embroidery. Words become gestures before becoming legible signs, shifting attention from the finished work to the process and the time held within it.
On view through September 6, 2026
