Carmella Gross’s work, despite its apparent simplicity, has many meanings. The inscription, made with fluorescent tubes on the wall, simultaneously reminds one of the works of the famous minimalist Den Flavian and street graffiti. The pink glow that fills the entire exhibition space forces one to recollect the goddess of dawn. But ‘Aurora’ is also the name of the red light district in San Paulo. And in the middle of the last century the hit of the Brazilian carnivals was a Neapolitan aria with the very same name.
