L’ombra delle lucciole (The Shadow of Fireflies) is the second episode in a series of three exhibitions that Atipografia is dedicating to exploring the three-dimensionality of human beings and the complexities of our times through contemporary languages. The exhibition is open from Friday 20 February to Saturday 18 April 2026.

​

The new collective exhibition, curated by Alfonso Cariolato and Luigi de Marzi, brings together the works of Mats Bergquist, Marco Tirelli, Silvia Inselvini and Loes van Roozendaal, linked by the theme of light as a presence capable of making the infinite possibilities of being and existing partially perceptible. The exhibition trilogy began in 2025 with the exhibition Matermània/Matermanìa, in which six artists explored the subject of motherhood, understood as the first moment of collectivity in which the self becomes us. If man is part of a whole, L'ombra delle lucciole continues the reasoning by suggesting the idea of the impossibility of fully understanding the world around us without accepting the mystery of its simple fact of being.
