Domestic claustrophobia & screen-mediated anxieties in Riccardo D’Avola-Corte’s online show for Prokrub Space

, 13 July 2020

Two Years of Tears Will Not Be Enough, an online exhibition by Riccardo D’Avola-Corte, curated by  Jiří Procházka and Eulalie Polne, premiered on Instagram via Prokrub Space on April 10.

Featuring a phone recording of the artist’s bedroom filled with sculptural works and detritus, the online exhibition, made primarily for IGTV, is self-referential of our screen-mediated and claustrophobic experiences of place during coronavirus lockdown. An ambiguous poem accompanying the show reflects this anxious confinement: “And yet everything seems so orderly to me everything is in this place. Everything is connected in the squalor of a few square meters.”**
