Eva Frapiccini's Dreams' Time Capsule at Bergamo's Monastero del Carmine
The eleventh edition of Contemporary Locus returns to Bergamo until September 18, reopening the Monastero del Carmine's Sala Capitolare for the first time. The main attraction is Eva Frapiccini's Dreams' Time Capsule, a high-tech igloo-like structure made of hand-sewn parachute fabric, resistant to extreme temperatures and lit by calibrated LEDs. Visitors enter alone to record a dream, which joins over 1,700 others collected in South America, Sweden, and Egypt. In the Sala Capitolare, Frapiccini presents six photographic installations addressing censorship during the Arab Spring in Cairo and Bahrain. The project is curated by Paola Tognon.
