Pasquale De Sensi: Lagado<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

at Mondoromulo Arte Contemporanea in Castelvenere, Benevento, Italy
26 April-26 June 2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After three years, Pasquale De Sensi, the artist from Lamezia Terme returns to the gallery with a new series of collages that take as their starting point one of the most famous places in satirical literature, Lagado, featured in Gulliver\u2019s Travels<\/em>. In the Academy of Lagado, which Jonathan Swift constructs in Gulliver\u2019s Travels<\/em>, a machine produces knowledge through the mechanical and random combination of words\u2014a scathing critique of the rationalist claim to reduce thought to procedure. De Sensi takes Swift\u2019s device and turns it over. Collage, in operation, is a recombination according to criteria, the deliberate architecture of visual memory. Lagado\u2019s panel can exist only because it is manipulated by an artist: someone who chooses, who orders, who is accountable for his own system of meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mad Meg Attacks Hell<\/em> (detail) by Pasquale De Sensi

The works on display span the entire history of modern art, from Bosch to Duchamp\u2019s Large Glass<\/em>, without the procedure ever being linear. Each fragment carries its own history and simultaneously detaches itself from it, subjecting itself to a semantic redetermination that does not ask permission from the original. Each image selected belongs to a layer, has its own rules of formation, and collage does not translate it: it exposes it in its discontinuity, simultaneously traces it, and contaminates it. The themes and titles of De Sensi\u2019s production intertwine, constructing a coherent internal narrative, and at the same time preserving the matrix of the thousand unfinished projects of the Academy imagined by Swift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
