From the middle ground of drowsiness, relics of bodies emerge from a dense haze. In the hypnagogic state lures a carnivalesque parade, where tragicomic figures wail muffled barks. These are alien bodies of at once an archaic and futuristic shape. They ferment in a viscous, liquid: a syrupy placenta that gushes like amber blood from their lethargic bodies. 

Francesca Kezich (b. 1995, Italy) is an artist whose practice spans set design, visual art, and performance. Holding a Master of Fine Arts in Sculpture and a Bachelor's Degree in Set Design from the Academy of Fine Arts of Florence, her work often explores the liminal spaces between the organic and the inorganic, the human and the alien.
Inspired by the hypnagogic state and the performative nature of matter, Kezich draws from found objects and discarded materials to create intricate and unsettling tableaux. These "embryonic creatures," as she calls them, emerge from a viscous, dreamlike state, challenging the viewer's perception and inviting a reconsideration of the value and agency of the discarded. Her work invites audiences into a shared dream space where the lines between reality and imagination blur, and the inanimate takes on a life of its own.
