Puzzle - New exhibition by Daniela De Lorenzo

We are thrilled to announce the last exhibition of our Soft Sculpture biennial program, with the solo show by Daniela De Lorenzo

Puzzle, explores the enigma of the body, simultaneously subject and object in perceiving itself, in an impossible self-representation.

For Daniela De Lorenzo, the self-portrait is essentially an act of withdrawal from the self—an unfulfilled act, deferred or displaced elsewhere, fragmentary. In this sense, it traverses and shapes much of her artistic production, both sculptural and photographic. The felt sculptures are casts of her own body, which imprints itself into the moistened layers of industrial felt—a material itself produced through the pressure of wool fibers—chosen by the artist for its ability to retain the memory of gesture, returning the spasm of a contraction or the release of tension in the fall of a limb under the force of gravity.

For her solo exhibition at Lottozero, De Lorenzo presents a new series of felt sculptures that incorporates a core of pre-existing works within an installation-based, environmental arrangement, transforming the Lottozero Kunsthalle into a score of poses and gazes.

With Daniela De Lorenzo’s solo exhibition, the two-year exhibition program (2025–2026) that Lottozero has dedicated to Soft Sculpture comes to an end. Through the positions of four artists—Chiara Bettazzi, Liselore Frowijn, Barbara Prenka, and Daniela De Lorenzo—textile has emerged as a vehicle for a plastic language articulated through fold and drapery, soft cast, padding and covering, tracing pathways of meaning and reflections on identity, care, and the political and invisible infrastructure of the body.

The exhibition os realized with the support of Toscanaincontemporanea 2025
