Myriam Laplante
Room 103 of the Art Hotel Gran Paradiso in Sorrento hosts the work of Myriam Laplante, a Canadian artist born in Chittagong (Bangladesh) in 1954 and resident in Italy. His works transform the room into a place of reflection on contemporary society, highlighting the contradictions of daily life and the power relations that condition mass life.
Myriam Laplante - The art in the room 103
For the Art Hotel Gran Paradiso, Myriam Laplante has created an installation that interprets the neuronal system in a plastic way. Using recycled materials such as pruned branches, cherry stones and latex, the artist creates representations of synapses, symbols of the short circuits of thought and the neuro-sensory overstimulation typical of the information society. The room thus becomes a visual metaphor of the flows and interferences that pass through the mind and contemporary life.
