In “Escapism”, Cristina Burns exhibits a series of artworks in which she explores the human tendency of escaping from an unsatisfying reality by virtue of different means, ranging from recreational activities to narcotic drugs. In an evermore hectic society, alienation becomes a viable alternative to reality.
The artworks were exhibited at the Cappella dell’Ascensione of the Foundation of the Real Sito di Carditello from 24 July through 15 August 2021.
