Anomalia: Four Artists Explore Instability in Porto Santo Stefano's Ex-Cisterns

exhibition · 2026-09-27

The exhibition's third chapter of Il Quinto Elemento, titled Anomalia – Indagine sulla persistenza dell'instabilità, is set in the historic cisterns of the Fortezza Spagnola in Porto Santo Stefano, Tuscany, under the curation of Ludovico Genone. Running until September 2026, it features the works of artists Leandro Lucchesi, Davide Mingolla, Damiano Tata, and Leonardo Zappalà. The showcase delves into the themes of unpredictability in matter, sound, and environmental interactions. These cisterns, once used for water storage, amplify the concept of transformation. This edition challenges the notion of instability, questioning if it signifies dysfunction or a pathway to balance, with each artist uniquely addressing perception, sonic elements, system interactions, and the interplay between the natural and artificial, redefining anomaly as a marker of complexity.
