Daniele Puppi's Immersive 'Ventiventuno' at Magazzino, Rome

Daniele Puppi (born 1970, Pordenone) presents his third solo show at Magazzino in Rome, titled 'Ventiventuno'. The exhibition transforms each room into a sensory 'tank' where image and sound envelop the viewer. Curator Valentino Catricalà notes that Puppi aims to 'hit the body' of the spectator by shaping the architectural environment. Works include a re-edited version of the film 'Fantastic Voyage' in a small room, where a rotating image creates illusory three-dimensionality, and 'MASTER BLASTER', which repurposes footage from Buster Keaton's silent film 'The Ball No. 13', turning comedy into an unsettling commentary on contemporary loss of control. The show explores pandemic-era emotions of turmoil and wonder through a blend of romantic sublime and post-production effects.
