Hyperstimulation, ashes, traces, crumbs, my blood, your blood, our blood, clear skies, moments, endless waiting, roars, cracks, thuds, what was, what remains, what will be, me, you, us, others;
“who?”
“the others”
“ ah”
“yea, the others”.
Hairs everywhere, broken crockery, beetles, family, big waves, I’ve never seen anything like it, dense clouds, verses, screams.
“Do you have a home?”
“who? Me?”
“yes you and the others”
“the others?”
“the Animals”
“Have you ever seen the tears of an animal?”
“Yes, Mine”
The exhibition aims to investigate our shared experience of the ongoing climatic, socio-cultural, political, and environmental changes by bringing together the diverse research and imaginative worlds of different artists. These transformations raise fundamental questions about how we inhabit the world.
In a time like ours—marked by catastrophe and trauma—how does our survival instinct respond? How do we save ourselves? Whom do we choose to save?
Ambitious questions, legitimate questions, open-ended questions, existential questions, practical questions. What matters is asking. What matters is opening up. MASSIMO meets banquet’s exhibition space and transforms it into a journey that allows us to engage with the imaginative worlds of this group of artists. If art can still save us, then we must move closer to the edge, observing it carefully—not to find answers, but to imagine them: “Let there be many, let them be collective!”
