Marinella Pirelli @ Richard Saltoun Gallery

With a career spanning more than 50 years, Marinella Pirelli’s artistic efforts and talent are under-recognised. A leading experimental filmmaker in the 1960s and 1970s, Pirelli’s 16mm film explorations have only recently been rediscovered thanks to the retrospective that Museo del Novecento in Milan dedicated to her in 2019.

This selection of works cover ideas relating to intimacy, the body and the relation of self with other. By experiencing Pirelli’s work from the comfort of the home, rather than a setting usually reserved for museums and institutions, one can develop a more intimate and deeper understanding of the artist.
