Little Planet Pavilion: A Group Show in Rome Explores Human-Nature Dialogue
The group exhibition Little Planet Pavilion, born within Parasite 2.0's solo show, investigates the possibility of dialogue between nature and the human species, perhaps in a futuristic alternative. Artists from different generations converge in a single project. The works on display come from Carlo Pratis's private collection as well as contemporary research carried out by Parasite 2.0. The exhibition's title is inspired by a 1983 BBC documentary. In 1977, the Golden Record was launched into space aboard the Voyager probe. This gramophone record contained sounds and images selected to testify to the diverse varieties of life and culture on Earth, intended to be found one day by an extraterrestrial life form or the future human species. Between symbolism and art, what matters is the will to leave a testimony, perhaps as a last attempt to survive our times.
