Micol Assaël's Fragile Equilibrium at Zoo Zone Art Forum

exhibition · 2026-05-04

Micol Assaël (Rome, 1979) presents a new project at Zoo Zone Art Forum in Rome, featuring a polimateric structure built over two weeks. The work, predominantly wooden, explores precarious balances tied to time, memory, history, and today's uncertainty. Each fragment is linked by a fragile equilibrium that accepts irreversibility and constant change, reflecting the metamorphosis of Rome and any potential city that overwrites itself with new rules.
