Grazia Toderi Gilberto Zorio. Towers: Earth

In continuity with the 2021 exhibition "G" held at the Church of Gesù in Vigone, which marked the first collaboration between artists Grazia Toderi and Gilberto Zorio, the site-specific installation "Torri: Terra" is created. Promoted by the Fondazione del Monte di Bologna e Ravenna, the work engages with the space of the Oratorio di San Filippo Neri and its history.

In the darkness, Zorio's two "Torri Stella" ("Star Towers"), each consisting of five points made from hundreds of stacked white masonry blocks, meet and merge in a dance defined by different symmetries. An alternation of slits, gaps, and openings connects the interior with the exterior. The artist's architecture expresses the relationship between material reality and thought.

The projections "We Mark" by Grazia Toderi interact with the surfaces of the "Torri Stella", changing shape and design, revealing different layers of meaning through their own spatiality and temporality. The projected images, composed of hundreds of overlapping frames, show a satellite view of the Earth that, in continuous rotation, transforms into a magmatic and reddish material.

This solo exhibition is curated by Cristina Francucci, with texts by Gianfranco Maraniello, and is promoted by the Fondazione del Monte di Bologna e Ravenna.
