The collaboration between Virginia Valeri and Giulia Gr for her first solo exhibition, originates from a private and intimate connection that slowly evolved into the desire to create a space capable of holding fragility, memory, and transformation as lived experience. Melancholia Archive emerges from necessity, born from a visceral need to hold on. It marks a pause in time, a moment of looking back, an act of acknowledging Giulia Gr’s life and artistic trajectory across 10 years of material.
