Neo-Nopales di Roma, 2022 (B)
16 inches x 20 inches
Ilford Galerie FB Lightjet Print
Edition of three
In Fall 2022, AltaMed Art Collection commissioned Harry Gamboa Jr. to travel to Rome and to create, “Neo-Nopales di Roma”, an ephemeral action/performance that explores urban spatial/architectural concerns, Italian cinematic references, and Chicano/Mexican sensibilities that resulted in ten photographs (edition of three).
“Neo-Nopales di Roma”, responds to Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi (Fountain of the Four Rivers), a fountain in the Piazza Navona in Rome, Italy. It was designed in 1651 by Gian Lorenzo Bernini for Pope Innocent X whose family palace, the Palazzo Pamphili, faced onto the piazza as did the church of Sant’Agnese in Agone of which Innocent was the sponsor. The fountain contains sculpted nopales that are present in the section, Río de la Plata, by Francesco Baratta that represents America.
