Wednesday, May 10th at 6:30 p.m., at the Il Tempo del Vino e delle Rose café bistro in Naples, the literary review Poet, conceived and directed by Claudio Finelli, hosts Be That Woman – Contemporary Mythology, the photographer's book Donatella Donatelli, published by De Angelis Art.
The book – catalogue of the photographic exhibition by Donatella Donatelli – held at the National Archaeological Museum of Naples “Mann” in 2020 curated by Chiara Reale – already summarises in the title Be That Woman Contemporary Mythology An interesting experimental journey that explores contemporary female iconography. Without denying the classical meaning of femininity as beauty, grace, and fertility, the artist intends to propose a new iconographic universe in which women are also recognized as symbols of strength, wisdom, diversity, acceptance, multiethnicity, and tolerance. Today, the noun "myth" and the adjective "mythical" are frequently used to refer to a person or character who has become an "icon" in the semiological sense of the term: a bearer of a message through their image. The exhibition aims to pay homage to the woman who can embody any form, from those depicted in Donatelli's photographs to those derived from the classical world.
The female myth to which the artist's photographic analysis refers comes from antiquity and, under a new photographic guise, renews the idea underlying stardom: to indicate female references in which, as in the myth, everyone can recognize themselves.
The author will be joined by the Transgender Policy Representative Antinoo Arcigay Napoli Daniela Lourdes Falanga and the curator of the project Chiara Reale. Coordinates Claudio Finelli.
