Event summary

Highlights

  • Solo exhibition by Maltese artist Alexia Baldacchino
  • Artistic exploration of insomnia and dream states
  • Integration of Renaissance-inspired painting techniques with modern sleep-app data
  • Immersive soundscape based on Medieval and Renaissance music
Curated by Melanie Erixon, the exhibition is the result of over a year of research into the personal and cultural understanding of sleep. Baldacchino draws visual inspiration from Renaissance art techniques, such as those found in Leonardo da Vinci’s La Scapigliata, using hazy forms and soft lighting to represent the fluidity of dreams.

In addition to historical influences, the artist utilizes data from sleep-monitoring apps, translating digital waves and rest records into visual imagery. This approach examines the modern fixation on sleep optimization and wellness tracking. The experience is further enhanced by a soundscape inspired by Renaissance and Medieval music, designed to create an immersive environment within the Mqabba venue.
