Entering door #2 with Megan Porpeglia’s “Quando ho incontrato un melograno” on the wall and Rose Michelle Taverniti’s installation “Branda” on the floor. (photo by Rose Michelle Taverniti)

Rose Michelle Taverniti: “Branda”. Installation with bed, sheet, drawing on mylar and iron fragments. “Branda” is the dialect word for this type of old bed, which is often now found in the fields and farms being used for many practical purposes. I see the image on the ground as if it were a projection of all the bed’s stories. –RMT (photo by Rose Michelle Taverniti)
