Performance: Chalisée Naamani

Arte Fiera and Fondazione Furla renew their collaboration for the live performance program curated by Bruna Roccasalva, Artistic Director of the Fondazione.

The artist invited to present a performance during the next edition of Arte Fiera is Chalisée Naamani (1995, France). She explores the construction identity and the mechanisms of bodily representation within contemporary visual culture weaving together elements of mainstream culture, art history and autobiography. Her works are often developed by assembling recycled materials and fabrics printed with images from a constantly expanding personal archive, taking form in what she calls vêtements-images or “image clothing”: garments conceived as paintings or sculptures never meant to be worn.

The project will once again be hosted in the Padiglione de l’Esprit Nouveau, built in the park across from the fairgrounds in 1977 as a faithful reproduction of the original design by Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret for the 1925 Exposition International des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. There, Naamani will be presenting new work that combines performance, sculpture, and installation.
 

Chalisée Naamani's project follows the performances curated by Bruna Roccasalva of the collective Public Movement (2023), Daniela Ortiz (2024) and Adelaide Cioni (2025
