Sembra Vivo!

Carole Feuerman's traveling exhibition, Reshaped Reality, arrived in Rome for a run at Palazzo Bonaparte under the title Sembra Vivo! ("It Looks Alive!"). Known for rendering the human figure with startling, almost unsettling precision, in resin, marble, and bronze, Feuerman uses hyperrealism not as an end in itself but as a way of asking what it means to truly see something, or someone. Sembra Vivo! leans into that tension: an immersive, "supervisual" experience built around life-sized, anonymous figures that blur the line between presence and illusion. Set within the historic rooms of Palazzo Bonaparte, steps from Piazza Venezia, the show paired Feuerman's meticulous realism with questions borrowed from philosophy, pushing visitors to linger a little longer over what, exactly, they were looking at.
