nuvolario #A_Cloud_In_A_Room

This performative practice now takes exhibition form with nuvolario #A_Cloud_In_A_Room, hosted in the Project Room of MUSE – Science Museum of Trento. Photographs, archival videos, and research materials trace an extensive investigation in which artistic vision and scientific inquiry remain in constant dialogue, suggesting that imagination is an essential component of scientific rationality.

Long relegated to the realm of vagueness because of their tendency to obscure astronomical references, clouds have often been regarded as enemies of clear thinking or reduced to romantic images of inner states. Yet they are also “livingdocuments” capable of deciphering reality: they expose the deceptive transparency of air and reveal how celestial landscapes are shaped by the similar dynamics of power and violence that traverse the earth.
The clouds in the Project Room draw on the disparate meteors Andreatta has encountered: from the Svalbard archipelago to the literary worlds evoked in research texts. The clouds he has created in theatres become forms to contemplate, phenomena to investigate, and traces of a world in transformation, all at once.
