Each chapter is inspired by a particular environmental condition in wich sight is put to the test, thus completing a narrative arc that began with the ambiguous half-light of <em>Penumbra<\/em> (2022), followed up by the disorienting fog of <em>Nebula<\/em> (2024), before reaching the excess of light and heat that marks this years&#8217;s <em>Canicula<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The latin term &#8220;canicula&#8221; is used in certain parts of the world to denote the warmest days of summer and, for various ancient Mediterranean cultures, this period of the year signified either propitious abundance or catastrophic drought. The exhibition takes on the blinding light and torrid heat that characterise these &#8220;dog days&#8221; as metaphors for our present, a historical moment saturated with extreme conditions and distorsions.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Through eight video installations commissioned from ten international artists and produced by the Fondazione In Between Art Film,\u00a0<em>Canicula<\/em> addresses multiple contemporary forms of overload and pressure, placing at the center of the narrative the individual and collective responses to a cultural landscape consumed by technology, eroded by inequalities and polluted by propaganda, which seems to be moving ever-closer to a critical threshold. The works explore the psychological, political and social dimensions of an intolerable climate: scorching heat and blinding light are here interpreted not just as dangerous agents for bodies and for environment, but also as the symbol of what is devouring social values and individual consciousnesses. Contributing to the image of imminent collapse that the exhibition summons up are the themes of information, control, war, science, consumption, the production of memory, and the aministration of power and truth.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>All of the works were conceived in close spatial and narrative relation to the surroundings of the Complesso dell&#8217;Ospedaletto and to the historical and existential implications that, for centuries, this former hospital and religious complex for the care of body and soul has been emanating.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The scenography designed by the mutidisciplinary studio 2050+ creates a route in which the spaces come across as isolated and protected, while the materials evoke the erosive action of mugginess and sunlight, as if in an effort to stem the destructive potential of these external agents.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Like\u00a0<em>Nebula<\/em> and <em>Penumbra<\/em> before it,\u00a0<em>Canicula<\/em> questions the nature of vision, its limits and its poetic resources; the concerns raised are inspired by an atmospheric condition that, once again, deceives the senses, undermining the reliability of sight and the interpretations of the real that it generates.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The exhibition will be open until November 22nd. It will be visitable from Wednesday to Monday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (last admission at 5:15 p.m.).
