ErbaLuce is the solo exhibition of Noemi Priolo, curated by Vincenzo Alessandria, presented at Bubble Space in Venice from 3 May to 22 November 2026.

The project unfolds as an environment where organic, artificial, and transformed matter coexist in an unstable balance, opening new perceptual and imaginative possibilities. Rather than following a linear narrative, the exhibition creates an experiential space that questions the boundaries between natural and synthetic, real and visionary. At the center of the exhibition stands the work that gives the show its title: a large sculptural installation composed of glass elements and mineral materials. Its form recalls an imaginary plant inspired by the wild thistle of Mediterranean arid landscapes. From the stem emerge flowers resembling hands joined upward, simultaneously evoking prayer, vegetal growth, and a spiritual tension embedded within matter. The transparency of the glass transforms apparent fragility into a luminous and sharp presence, crossed by an underground vital force. Alongside this installation develops Amor Mundi, a series of nine sculptures extending through the space with a silent yet persistent presence. Compact and polished, the works evoke hybrid forms between natural organism and artificial construction. Filament-like extensions and sensitive details emerge from their surfaces, suggesting processes of continuous mutation. The title recalls the thought of Hannah Arendt and introduces a reflection on love for the world as a practice of openness, transformation, and responsibility toward what surrounds us. The exhibition concludes with 965, a work built through accumulation, in which small elements gather across dense, almost textile-like surfaces. The piece suggests a process of collective growth, expanding beyond the physical limits of the object. Through repetition and the proliferation of form, Priolo investigates the relationship between order and disorder, control and spontaneity, fragility and resistance.

Taken together, the works generate a threshold space where opposing categories — natural and artificial, organic and synthetic, inside and outside — dissolve into one another. Viewers are invited to slow their gaze and move through ambiguity as a form of knowledge. Through a language that intertwines material research, symbolic imagination, and poetic tension, ErbaLuce proposes a new idea of belonging, in which the boundaries between human and nature dissolve into something wider, made of light, matter, and breath.
