Metamorphosis Gallery, Wunderkammer
Mantova, Italy / 2021
The Galleria delle Metamorfosi in the Ducal Palace in Mantua reopened with the new section devoted to the Gonzaga’s Wunderkammer, an unusual collection of animal, mineral and vegetable finds, a kind of 3D encyclopaedia of the visible world in an era in which science, folklore and legend blended in a curious and bizarre synthesis.
For the occasion, our light is narrative and discreet. Discreetly, the lamp-object unveils and reveals, leaving the centre of the scene for the finds on display and re-evoking the amazement of an unrepeatable collection that charmed travelling scientists from across Europe in the past centuries.
