Daverio’s works, whether it is sculptures, paintings or jewellery, need, to bee understood and appreciated, not the translator’s rhetoric, but the silence of the naturalist who, with love, listens to the song of birds which would fly away at the merest rustling. Daverio’s primitive figures, who appear to be playful, personify the conundrums, doubts, and anguish of the modern world.

Moriss says that we live in a world where everything is fake, but precisely for this reason we can prepare ourselves for accidents. Unusual events loom over the streets of Milan, capable of arousing wonder and undermining feelings in the inhabitants, no longer accostumed to real things. What appears to be the organization of another great festival, awaited and desired, or the preparation to make sure art reaches the public, is in reality a caravan committed to keeping alive a resistance to homologation. Among the narrow urban spaces, the PICs act in silence to change the perception of everyday life. Unforeseen feelings, unseen possibilities, and accidents along the way prove the real intentions and purposes of the protagonists in this story.

A regurgitation of years of television suffered and re-proposed in the dreamlike and contracted form of a video computer that was the first to be able to emit a digestible return signal from a television. The first response on the same rhythms and themes as television. Primordial consumer technology as a creative basis for a video work on the border between painting and animation. United with the video hiss of AMIGA pixels, with the overflow of its other color frequencies, the hold of the PAL, on the border of VHS. A narrative construction that tells in a non-linear way. Since 1995 a prelude to contemporary visuals.

In an attempt to reinstate the historical complexity of the Minett, the exhibition draws on the concept of “remix”, turning the Massenoire into a time machine with audiovisual narration unfolding around three main themes: industry, people and landscape. From macro perspectives to micro-stories, the exhibition reveals a mosaic of images and voices, offering insights into various aspects that played a part in shaping the identity of the Minett.

A chat about time between fraternal friends who time has led to have less time to share, around a film about a memory that is already a memory, facing a creative obstacle that becomes the creation of a new space; the attempt to make an impossible work visible, together with splinters of places, flashes of the universe and fragments of lives. The spectre of a colossal film reduced to a handful of confetti thrown towards your eyes with the candid spirit of two children make believing filmmaking at Christmas.

Tréminis, Grenoble, France. Lucy emigrated with her husband Battista in 1952. Children of poverty in the postwar years. A small world, just two years of school, family, and church.

Men—like blades of grass—generated and preserved in their land.

In 2016, the CNR and the La Sapienza University of Rome published a study on the discovery of a huge landfill in the depths of the underwater canyons of the Strait of Messina. This waste deposit, identified thanks to the use of a sophisticated ROV, a remotely operated wire-guided underwater vehicle, does not represent an isolated case, but rather the example of a phenomenon also found in several other marine depths in the world, from Gibraltar to Nice, from Korea to Africa. With the aid of the latest generation of sophisticated technical means, the film documents the underwater exploration conducted at the end of June 2023 by the director together with marine geologists from the CNR, marine biologists and robotics engineers, in the suggestive stretch of sea that connects the Tyrrhenian Sea with the Ionian Sea, over 600 meters deep.
