Ventaglio moves into the visionary world of Benni Bosetto – an Italian artist whose practice moves fluidly between drawing, sculpture, installation, and performance. Working with an intimate, often archetypal visual language, she explores the body as a site of reconstruction, where identity can dissolve, hybridise, and re-form.Her figures and forms feel both ancient and immediate: part ritual, part dream, part anatomy. Bosetto’s work often stages encounters between human and non-human presences, building worlds where fragility becomes strength and metamorphosis becomes a way of enduring, and evolving. In the context of Ventaglio, her approach brings a charged symbolism to the fan: not decoration, but a talisman of becoming – an object that carries motion, memory, and change.
