Synopsis:

Nostalghia recounts Brook Hsu’s 2022-2023 untitled site-specific exhibition at Sant’Andrea de Scaphis in Rome. Two years after the completion of the project, Hsu attempts to hold a sustained farewell to her artwork using a mixture of writing and photography. From Piero della Francesca, Blinky Palermo and Hsu’s childhood garden to Pier Paolo Pasolini, Jun’Ichiro Tanizaki’s toilet and a video store in Kansas City that’s going out of business, Nostalghia brings together an eclectic band of Hsu’s influences to tell a story of both loss and becoming. “In a moment when I thought that no greater companion would be my loneliness and my sadness, I am met with company. Not even I understood until it happened to me. In darkness, I sat smoking, letting my thoughts go. Against the night, a form was made a silhouette on a railing…” Making a quiet plea for the imagination, Nostalghia carries a sense across its pages that sometimes the parts that make up a whole are not always as linear as they might appear. Included within the monograph are photographs by Hsu, Alessandro Cicoria, Valeria Giampetro and David Regen.
