Prima is delighted to take part in the INVITED section of Art Brussels, presenting a dialogue between Helena Minginowicz (Polish, based in Poznań, Poland) and Luca Resta (Italian, based in Paris, France).
A sculptor, Luca Resta explores the vertigo of repetition by collecting and endlessly replicating everyday forms—disposable cutlery, plastic packaging, cardboard. Like a contemporary archaeologist, he preserves these fleeting objects in durable materials such as marble, shifting their status and playing with paradoxes of consumption and value, transience and permanence.
Helena Minginowicz questions the tension between our desire for resilience and the inevitable fragility of existence. Painting on overlooked materials—paper napkins, beauty masks, plastic bags—she captures the ephemeral and the illusory pursuit of stability.
