The exhibition She affects us, indeed at the Swedish Institute for Classical Studies in Rome takes the form of a dialogue between Sophie Westerlind (Stockholm, 1985) and Giulio Squillacciotti (Rome, 1982). Starting from the reflections of What Has Left Since We Left – the film in which Squillacciotti imagines the end of the European Union as if it were a psychotherapy session between heads of state – Westerlind builds a corpus of paintings, based on unpublished and archival photographs, portraying subjects located in the places the artist has visited and lived in over the past ten years. The result is a geography of affection and memory that suggests a reflection on the role of politics and identity in contemporary Europe.
With a critic support by Stefano Mudu.
