About
Giulia Cairone’s work circulates around femininity, touch and emotions. The key driving force is the tension between disgust and beauty, fantasy and reality. Soft, perishable materials such as sugar, wax and perfume are combined with cosmetic latex and kiss stains, in the search for restructuring both the raw and the refined.
The objects linger in between the finished and the unfinished, between beauty and ugliness, cleanliness and impurity; pushing their materials towards new borders.
Giulia inspects what can be perceived as ‘bad taste’ within feminine aesthetics. Portraying excessive emotional reactions – being too sensitive or erratic – all too often related to femininity. The displayed objects are sensual, sexy and desirable, wanting to be wanted. The language used is intentionally overloaded with romantic, albeit harshly presented gestures, aiming for both directness and intimacy with the viewer. Swaying in the air in their semi-transparent existence, there are latex drapes kiss-marked in neon tones of pink, violet, red, cyan and yellow.
