Manuel Felisi. Immobile time

Catalog of the exhibition “Manuel Felisi. Still Time", Factory them, Milan, 17 February - 25 March 2017.

Manuel Felisi's work focuses mainly on the artist's memories but also those of all of us, on intimate memory, personal, which subsequently becomes collective. Felisi's research has always focused on trying to stop time, aspect naturally impossible in the real world, but achievable within a liquid environment, that the artist creates and transmits with his works, a time dominated by the emotions and sensations of reminiscence.
The exhibition at Fabbrica Eos mainly starts from these aspects, a motionless Time, as the title of the exhibition also underlines, within which it was decided to create an "imaginative" place – existing", where time is shown to the user as suspended, precisely immobile for the entire duration of the same. An almost metaphysical time, only apparently static, but in constant evolution, that comes from the past, from the memory, to then change and therefore evolve in the present.
