"Davide Stucchi. Light Lights marks the artist’s first solo exhibition in an Italian institution, the Centro Pecci in Prato. Featuring sculptures created between 2019 and 2025, the show explores the theme of light, transforming the perception of both the exhibition space and the visitor’s body. Through a playful and diverse array of luminous forms, Stucchi creates an immersive environment that gradually unfolds, suggesting a choreography of gestures, glances, and movements. The works invite reflection on the fleeting nature of encounters and moments in life, whether radiant or shrouded in darkness.Blending imagined narratives, daydreams, and a subtle sense of irony, Stucchi reveals the absurd and often overlooked aspects of everyday life. Light Lights demonstrates his ability to work in the penumbra, using gentle light to present the many absences inherent to communal life. The subjects at the core of Stucchi’s research are conveyed through everyday objects, often found or assembled from unrelated elements (such as a ladder and a mirror). These objects recall the shelves of DIY and hardware stores, whose product catalogs inspired the design of this publication in a playful yet serious tribute.The publication includes critical essays by Stefano Collicelli Cagol, Laura McLean-Ferris, Sabrina Tarasoff, Alessandro Pasero, and Michele D’Aurizio, alongside detailed entries and images of the works on view, providing a comprehensive account of the exhibition and of the artist’s latest practice."
