Maria Talotta's 'Digital Road Trip' invades Turin parking garage
Maria Talotta's site-specific installation 'Digital Road Trip' is on view at Parcheggio Lancia in Turin until June 22, 2026. Curated by Ghëddo, the project stems from her 2024 video work documenting a 2009 road trip to Calabria, her father's homeland. The installation features a large-scale print of computer interface screenshots along one wall, while the original video is screened at Fondazione Merz nearby. The work explores memory, digital archives, and the emotional geography of travel. During the opening, a parked car allowed visitors to watch the video on an iPhone mounted as a GPS. The exhibition is part of TO.BE, a project in its fourth edition curated by Ghëddo in dialogue with Giulia Turconi, aiming to connect artists, museums, and unconventional spaces.
