The works in the exhibition evoke dimensions both of the natural and the human world. Such dimensions represent processes of creation, circulation, and destruction. From the sun nuclear fusion, the source of life on this planet (Blind sun), to the under(water)world (Hadean Stories), in which the first organic life evolved and, today, crossed by human-made systems of connection - subaquatic cables (Third Nature). The energy circulating in such systems is carrying the imaginary feeding our contemporary social
The ceramic sculptures scattered across the floor of the rooms allude to a kind of archaeology of communication networks, constructing a landscape contaminated by contact with the devouring organicity of the environment. They seem to possess a timeless quality and an undefined status as if they had survived the wear of time and the strain of their dubious origin. It is almost as if a third nature emerges here, indiscernible in the symbiosis between the organic and the artificial.
The exhibition is an immersive experience, in which the multiple relationships constituting the environments we inhabit, imagine, and produce, are evoked. Each room represents a microcosm - created through light, sculptures, images, and sound. In such an environment, the sound (Blind Sun 2019) works as a bridging element. It crosses architecture, recalling the relationships of the whole.
