Aki Sasamoto's XYZ at Pirelli HangarBicocca Explores Cartesian Coordinates and Active Void

Aki Sasamoto's exhibition XYZ at Pirelli HangarBicocca in Milan transforms the interval between things into the artwork's core material. Upon entering, visitors encounter recognizable yet displaced objects and configurations on the verge of stability, gestures that form without resolution. This active void—the space between an action and its effect, between what an object should do and what it does—becomes the true subject. The title references the three Cartesian coordinates and the last three letters of the alphabet, suggesting both spatial positioning and finality. The show interweaves sculpture, performance, video, mathematics, dance, memory, and behavior into a network where each element modifies the others. Curated by Margherita Artoni and Anita Romanello, the exhibition continues at Pirelli HangarBicocca in Milan, Italy.
