ANABASIS

ANABASIS is Matteo Melotto’s third solo exhibition, presented by STUDIO RÖ and documented on video by Kage Prod. The project unfolds through installations and performances exploring identity, trauma, and the relationship between spirituality and technology. At the center is the half-moon symbol—drawn from the artist’s personal history in a low-income housing complex—which recurs throughout the works as a visual mantra. The heart of the show is a two-hour ritual performance where the artist wears a monumental crescent-shaped robe matching the dimensions of his childhood home-school, creating a powerful link between body, space, and personal history.

Exhibited at STUDIO RÖ (Milan), 4th April 2025.
