The title of Adelisa Selimbašić’s first solo exhibition in Milan curated by Luca Zuccala «Non ci incontreremo mai cosi giovani» («we will never find ourselves this young»), plays with irony and the suspension time in a subtle poetic vein, all cornerstones of the artist’s work. It generates a kind of disorientation and ambiguity, also present in the work, which induces the viewer/reader to pause for a further reflection. In fact, in the paintings it is possible to see projected shadows that follow different and contrasting directions as if each subject of the painting belonged to a place and different time, or may be, as if they different temporal dimensions overlapped.
