On the road

The cement walls of the otherwise drab, slightly ramshackle dwelling seem to undulate with life. Beating their vast, bright wings against a background of tiny crosses, magnificently coloured butterflies swoop and soar between the heads of children, their eyes wide with curiosity. Enrico Gaveglia, born in Tuscany, Italy, is something of a perennial globetrotter. Says Meta House of the artist’s new exhibition, Kikontheroad: ‘Direct life experiences often in countries plagued by latent conflict have allowed him to walk through places of great charm and put him in contact with extraordinary people. Every now and then he collects accidental shots in testimony of his passages through visited nations. It is only much later that he feels the need to internalise those experiences in intimate moments of reflection, stolen from his daily routine, as the digital products of his work come to life to create a reproduced, altered reality.
