Tiziana Lorenzelli (Lecco, 1961), artist, architect and designer, presents "#OUTOFME (Distico Elegiac)" In the new exhibition space in Strasbourg Gallery 3 (MM San Babila), which connects Via Durini with Corso Europa in Milan.

In the digital world, private life is constantly exposed, shared and externalized, but often superficially filtered, never fully authentic. From this reflection, the hashtag #OUTOFME, which invites the public to participate and interact by sharing their vision of the exhibition on social media. The physical space of the exhibition remains inaccessible, but is transformed into a virtual place, collective and potentially shared by all.

The project is a natural development of the artistic research recently presented at the Milan branch of Cortesi Gallery. The centerpiece of the installation is the projection of the video "Cobalt Blue Giant Magnolia" (2023), which shows the frames of a majestic, centuries-old magnolia tree, wrapped at the base by a mirror of blue Aluflexia®, a special aluminum patented by the artist and already an international award-winner. In the current exhibition, blue Aluflexia not only envelops the projected tree, but also covers the entire gallery floor, reusing the same material used in the 12-meter installation "Cobalt Blue Giant Magnolia". This intervention amplifies the interplay of reflections, light and perspective, generating an optical effect of depth that expands the boundaries of space and blends reality and imagination.
