I'M NOBODY
MAY, 1 - JUNE, 12 2023

I’m Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – too?

Emily Dickinson’s words appeal to us, questioning who are we and what is the nature of our own importance?
Origin, body, identity, memory are essential factors in constructing the illusion of our individual existence. An abstract reality that fills us with questions, today more than ever, in a period of profound transformations.

What is the definition of the human, and the non-human?
How do we relate to the consciousness of existence and disappearance?
Who are we when we are not there?

We find ourselves in a space where the relations between human beings, technologies and nature are mutating at great speed. Countless new dialogues are established between desires, fears, narratives, images and experiences. Synergies that undoubtedly come to boost our awareness and creativity, inside and outside the art world.

How dreary – to be – Somebody!
How public – like a Frog –
To tell one’s name – the livelong June –
To an admiring Bog!
