Danilo Sciorilli's 'The Big Crunch' at Cinema Massimo in Turin
Danilo Sciorilli (born 1992 in Atessa) presents 'The Big Crunch' at the Museo Nazionale del Cinema in Turin's Cinema Massimo. The exhibition centers on posters for films that will never exist, treating them as self-portraits and explorations of time, waiting, and absence. A projection in the theater shows an infinite countdown that resets upon reaching zero, never showing a film. Sciorilli cites neorealist cinema and Fellini's idea of observing reality with honesty—social, spiritual, and metaphysical. He aims to blur the line between reality and fiction, life and artwork. The artist states that the countdown itself is the film, allowing viewers to watch time pass. Sciorilli emphasizes the importance of engaging with everyday life, not just the art world, and is already planning a next exhibition in a completely different space.
