Elisabetta Di Sopra's video installation at Venice Archaeological Museum

Elisabetta Di Sopra (born 1969 in Pordenone) presents a three-channel video installation titled 'Il limite' at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Venezia. The work was filmed in the Anatomy of Art classroom at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia, where Di Sopra once studied, featuring model Savinia Bullo. The video is displayed on three monitors synchronized via network, placed in Sala VIII of the museum alongside three statues of Galatians (2nd century AD, Roman copies of Hellenistic originals from the Grimani collection, discovered in Rome in 1514). The arrangement forms a semicircle, creating a dialogue between the living/virtual sculpture and the ancient statues. The narrative follows a typical academic session: the model ascends the podium, assumes a classical pose, and descends at the lesson's end, rendered vivid through subtle movements captured on video. The installation explores temporal layers—the artist's memory, the historical context of the museum, and the ancient sculptures—inviting viewers on an emotional journey beyond the limit of time.
