Departing from the exploration of the Ministry of Loneliness – established in 2018 in the United Kingdom and replicated in 2021 in other countries such as Canada and Japan – the artist’s work develops a reflection on the political and social structures that shape the emotional state of loneliness and its perception in contemporary society. In the project, which stems from a research trip unfolding between Italy, the United States, Japan and the United Kingdom, the phantasmal and pervasive shadow of isolation that permeates Western societies takes shape in a layered investigation extending to the very roots that trigger it: from the advancement of the techno-scientific order of modern life to the rise of liberal capitalism.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe volume reproduces the collection of notes that formed the basis of Moccia’s project in its entirety – a digital collage with diary-like traits, consisting of texts, images, reports and reflections on various kinds of documents. The critical texts by Chiara Nuzzi – curator of the exhibition – and Vincenzo Estremo broaden Rebecca Moccia’s work on a theoretical level, highlighting how between loneliness and individualisation there lies a dialectical relationship inextricably bound up in the modes of late-capitalist production.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"und\"\u003eContributors\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVincenzo Estremo \/ Chiara Nuzzi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"und\"\u003eCredits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished by Humboldt Books and Fondazione ICA Milano, realized with the support of Outset Contemporary Art Fund and Mazzoleni, London – Torino \/ Design: SMV – Studio Moretti Visan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher Humboldt Books, 2023\u003cbr\u003e170 × 240 mm\u003cbr\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003e168pp.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Temple Bar Gallery + Studios","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57221502304587,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0407\/5080\/9253\/files\/MinistryofLonelinessImage1.jpg?v=1777997853","url":"https:\/\/shop.templebargallery.com\/products\/rebecca-moccia-ministry-of-loneliness","provider":"Temple Bar Gallery + Studios","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
