Roberto Feleo’s series of vitrines takes us to hothouses of faith. They are practically experiments of science and religion, natural history and spirituality, domesticity and the public sphere. The bell jar is a controlled environment where flora is placed and observed. As decoration, it encases objects set apart as either delicate or rare, or recovered from foreign, exotic places, reminiscent of the cabinet of curiosities.
