COLLAGE ON VIEW
Stefano Carbone: Rupture
at Centro Cultural Xavier Villaurrutia in Mexico City, Mexico
6 September-1 October 2025
Artist Stefano Carbone’s “Rupture” focuses on analog collage through the technique of tearing: fragments of torn paper are reassembled into new visual realities, giving form to identities in constant transformation. The project embraces the spirit of queerness, understood as experimentation and the fusion of diverse ideas and aesthetics. Each work is built from layers of colors, textures, and materials gathered from the streets of Paris, Madrid, Bari, and Mexico City. Though sourced from different geographies and contexts, the compositions maintain a visual harmony that reflects unity within diversity. This convergence of fragments mirrors the queer experience—multiple origins and perspectives coexisting in a single entity.

Themes explored in “Rupture” include eroticism, the body, activism, identity, instinct, and the breaking of gender stereotypes. Above all, the works channel inner chaos into artistic expression, turning the medium itself into a space for dissidence and personal freedom.
