Site-specific installation
Museo Novecento, Florence — June 22, 2024 / December 31, 2025
Celebrating the tenth anniversary of the Museo Novecento, La Terza Dimensione unfolds as a long ribbon of black-and-white figures painted directly onto the walls of the museum’s lower and upper loggias. The first sequence in the lower cloister presents solemn, frontal figures suspended in a temporal limbo. On the upper floor, these bodies transition from static to dynamic: they touch, kiss, and intertwine, generating a physical, emotional, and spiritual movement that explores desire, affectivity, and the power of physical encounters. Drawing from imagery that strips away social constraints, the installation builds an intimate, existential choreography, shifting from a classical frieze format into an abstract volume made of flesh and bone. It serves as a visual reflection on a new order of love, celebrating eros beyond mere sexual consumption.
