While walking in a city, one of the best moment is when all the street lights go on like it would be the sign of a spectral presence. A few minutes before this almost unpredictable instant you are just trying simultaneously to walk and to adjust your eyes to the dusk which is flattening every details that could have made the place significant.

Those electric gaps into the public space triggered some unlikely comparisons with the exhibition currently presented at Marsèlleria in Milano.

The result is an exhibition entitled 1999 which juxtaposes and mingles two works, revealing affinities and provoking unexpected associations while highlighting the individual perspective of each artist.

Nevertheless they both have created works that employ materials and methods from a built environment that seems to engender cryptic, hostile and mystical human activities in the space.

1999 with ANTOINE RENARD and LIBBY ROTHFELD is on view at Marsèlleria, Milano until April 14, 2017.
