AAIE exhibition FiabaLivida - Giulia Seri Curated by Studio Sutura March 13 – April 11, 2026 FiabaLivida Giulia Seri Curated by Studio Sutura (Mariacristina Lattarulo e Mara Montanaro) AAIE Center for Contemporary Art Via Sermide 7, Rome 00182 Opening: Friday, March 13, 6:30 PM March 13 – April 11, 2026 Free admission AAIE Center for Contemporary Art presents FiabaLivida, a solo exhibition by Giulia Seri (Rome, 1988), artist and biologist who lives and works in Florence. Seri’s practice is composed of caustic matter: words, glitter, blister packs, bread, teeth, gauze, colored beads, roses, ceramics, and watercolors. Fragile domestic objects coexist with a small portable pharmacy. The works embody autobiographical pain: specters, traumas, and illnesses suddenly become talismans, amulets, and livid spells. The concept of the parasite forms the theoretical foundation of the entire exhibition. From the Greek παρά (“beside”) and σῖτος (“food”), the parasite is an organism that lives at the expense of its host, establishing a relationship of dependency and survival. In FiabaLivida, this biological dynamic is transfigured: digestion at the expense of famine, language as infection, memory as cellular proliferation. Giulia Seri’s research unfolds as a secular cathedral of childhood memories: flooded rooms, invasive rose gardens, exuviae that shed and transform. Color—purple, cyanotic, biliverdinic—evokes the organic processes of hematoma, inscribing into the visual field the biological temporality of the wounded body. In this suspension between the clinical and the perceived, the fairy-tale dimension becomes the true time of experience: a space in which Seri acts as demiurge. FiabaLivida does not propose a rhetoric of the happy ending; rather, it offers a symptomatic inventory of reality. Situated at the threshold between biology and magic, Giulia Seri’s practice organizes pain as a system of signs, exorcising death through a rigorous and caustic discipline. The exhibition is accompanied by a critical text by Studio Sutura (Mariacristina Lattarulo and Mara Montanaro).
