Exhibition at Luisa Catucci Gallery  Allerstr. 38, Berlin

The title of the exhibition is a tribute to the "Geheimkabinett" (Secret Cabinet), a section of the National Archaeological Museum of Naples in which exhibits exclusively erotic and sexual samples of Greek and Roman art.

Over the course of time, the Cabinet has been subjected to censorship, prohibiting the public display of the works it contains and even threatening their destruction. The sexual act, represented by the ancient art in an explicit and natural way, was seen by later audiences as a symbol of depravity, obscenity and sin. This fact vividly exemplifies the difficult relationship between the public and erotic art, which has always been controversial and a subject of scandal.
