Ferrero’s practice explores how  architectures of power shape the way in which we imagine and move through the world. With glimpses of mockery, irony, and mischief, Andrea sabotages power games, translating her fantasies into immersive installations, edible banquets and play infrastructures that weave political history with myth, prophecy and personal memory, combining techniques that range from aluminum casting to ironwork and chocolate making. Underlining the slippery relationship between playful and perverse, she often invites the audience to participate in intimate acts of irreverence, trespass, and desire, transforming structures that once demanded reverence into stages of interaction. Extending earlier investigations into fortresses, architectures of security, and imperial gardens, her latest work brings the spatial logics of power to an intimate terrain shaped by childhood imagination, personal memory, and acts of world-building, where systems of control are first encountered at a miniature scale.
