Conchiglie Sonore by Maeda Kamari was conceived for the Church of Santa Cristina in Cesena, designed by Giuseppe Valadier. The exhibition presented 22 unpublished works, each conceived as a “portrait of the heart,” translating gesture and energy into calligraphic form.
Sixteen works were installed along the church's circular space, aligned with its columns, while additional pieces and ceramic plates completed the display. Curated by Arch. Andrea Pompili, the project explored shodō as both an artistic and spiritual practice.
The opening featured a live calligraphic performance by the artist, accompanied by music by Megumi Horie, creating an immersive experience in which gesture, sound, and space converged.
