Bologna
In the Giosuè Carducci House Museum, a home-library that is itself a donation, the artist collective ZimmerFrei has set up a collection of objects, stories, and legacies once belonging to deceased individuals who share a particular status: they are still active through collaborations with living people to whom they have entrusted specific tasks. The tour through the objects scattered around the house, alongside those that once belonged to the great poet Giosuè Carducci and his wife Elvira Menicucci, is guided by the voices of those currently responsible for the preservation, execution, or handling of these legacies. These were collected by ZimmerFrei over the course of a three-year research project, based on the following question: Do you know of any deceased people who are still active in the present? This has nothing to do with spirits or mediums, but rather practical instructions, actions to be carried out, objects and stories to deliver, puzzles to solve, and chores to complete. The visit lasts about 45 minutes and includes domestic objects, elements extracted from works of art, and temporary loans, which will blend with the house's furniture, fittings, and specially selected documents from the library.
