THE COURT is pleased to present the fourth exhibition Der Prozess by the artists Pierluigi Fabrizio and
Francesca Longhini curated by Maurizio Vicerè. The exhibition has been designed in pairs of works by the
respective artists trying to create rebus and ambiguous relationships between the two researches.
NOTE: It is never easy to talk about Franz Kafka (Prague, 1883 – Kierling, 1924) perhaps because a lot has already been said
and there are many influences of the writer in modern literature. In his novels Kafka has succeeded in translating the dream, the
grotesque, the suspended, the ambiguous, the comedy and the tragic into a corpus of literature whose maximum expression is perhaps
precisely in Der Prozess – The Trial (1914 – 1915), posthumously published in the 1925.
Introduction to the Exhibition
A grand piano. What is more passionate about it? Is it not the musical instrument that best translates the most
authentic passions of man into notes? And yet, let’s take a closer look at photography. Apparently it does not
seem to show us anything, there is no action and less than ever someone to be surprised by our indiscreet
presence. Let’s take a closer look at the details. It is covered by a case and by thin layers of dust: we would say
disused. Only an orange glow from the left illuminates this piano in the center of a stage whose limits are
highlighted by a dense tent like the night. A first scene framed in what we can guess as an interlude between the
theater and the scenes, the scene and all that is made up.
Pierluigi Fabrizio (Pescara, 1977) welcomes us with this photograph taken inside the Florian Theater in Pescara
which is part of a project developed specifically for this exhibition, in close relationship with the novel by Franz
Kafka, Der Prozess.
Moving to the right from the photo we see a small painting in which on the canvas a thin layer of acrylic, mixed
with graphite and glue, forms the backdrop to a double perspective, a double-arc geometric composition still in
acrylic and gold leaf. It is difficult to give a definition to the works of Francesca Longhini (Brescia, 1985). I
believe they are a codification or rather the de-coding of a probable intimate reality. In a certain sense, Longhini
has a relationship with figuration even if it is always tied to an urgency for abstraction, allegory and synthesis.
Everyone feels free to see what he wants but for me we are faced with a sort of tunnel in which two arches are
interspersed in perspective. The artist with his unique way of painting wants to invite us to enter, to walk through
corridors and rooms built to art and that actually multiply and confuse the real and imaginative spaces causing a
certain vertigo there on the threshold of a surreal journey that is proper world of Kafka.
