Giuiuzza

Giuiuzza takes root in the traces of memory carried silently across generations of women. At its heart lies a simple yet profound question: what remains in us of the lives, gestures, and traumas of our predecessors? The piece emerges from an investigation of everyday actions — folding a cloth, preparing a space, repeating the same movements day after day — gestures that, while seemingly banal, reveal the weight of an inherited past. In this work, the body becomes an archive. It embodies the habits, silences, and resistances that women have transmitted, consciously or unconsciously, through time. Domestic gestures transform into carriers of memory, and a handkerchief — an intimate and fragile object — becomes both symbol of submission and of rebellion. Giuiuzza navigates the tension between private space and the public gaze: a gaze that disciplines, judges, and defines, yet which also offers the possibility of transformation and new meanings.
