How does one begin to tell an odyssey? For Raffaela Naldi Rossano the subject of this summer issue’s cover story there are three basic elements. The first is home, a recurring element in the artist’s practice, here taking the form of transformed domestic objects that, as Francesco Urbano Ragazzi writes, move art “away from the capitalist solitude of the last thirty years to reconnect with history.” The second is the sea, specifically a Mediterranean boat trip that engenders the artist’s practice of de-subjectivization as well as a constellation of initiatory experiences. The third is the song of the muses, through which the artist looks at myth as a pattern applicable to infinite narratives.
