'Pietraia' is the result of the encounter between sculptor Giulia Cenci and photographer Jacopo Benassi—their practices merging to create a new body of work, where the hybrid forms of her pieces and his visceral gaze generate a shared language of transformation. Introduced by curator Antonio Grulli, the artists met in Milan and then gathered in Pietraia, a rural village where Cenci set up her studio in the former stables of her family’s farm. There, she works with metal to create casts of organic and mechanical bodies—branches and pipes, bones and pistons, human and animal faces – which she assembles and disassembles to shape new, visionary figures. Benassi photographed these creations indoors, in the studio, and outdoors, in the woods.
