Rethinking

From an idea by Vittorio Piraneo e Ivan Terranova

Artworks by: Gabriele Basilico, Alfio Bonanno, Michael Christopher Brown,

In recent years we have witnessed a collective awareness of the impact that human activities have on the planet. It is a complex topic, which we have a duty to address from different, very different points of view. The environmental crisis is a “hyperobject” – as the philosopher Timothy Morton would say – that forces us to become aware that “there is no outside” and that our existence takes place within interconnected systems. The OELLE Foundation borrows the concept of social sustainability, which allows the cohesion of a society capable of supporting its members who, by collaborating in order to achieve common goals, are also able to achieve individual well-being. A paradigm of the social sciences is the concept of equality. The selection of works proposed in the exhibition revolves around this concept: works born from the dialogue with nature and from listening to places. Megalopolises in continuous expansion and ruins to be re-invented. Sequences of images that urge us to re-imagine a possible and non-utopian future.
