Maurizio Camerani's 1981 Video 'Altrove' Debuts Online

exhibition · 2026-04-27

Quartz Studio in Turin is hosting 'Make a Better World Now', a solo exhibition of Maurizio Camerani (born 1951 in Ferrara), curated by Anna Daneri. The show, currently closed due to the health emergency, features never-before-exhibited works from the 1970s, including the 1981 video 'Altrove', which Artribune presents exclusively. Daneri describes the video as deceptively simple: a fixed camera in a space evoking a television studio, with colored backdrops and a central camera facing the viewer inside a structure that foreshadows later video sculptures. The work incorporates video and audio interferences as jolts that highlight the message: 'Art moves in zigzags. Art is elsewhere. Art is restless.'
