Olafur Eliasson's 'Orizzonti tremanti' at Castello di Rivoli
At the Castello di Rivoli Museo d'Arte Contemporanea, Olafur Eliasson's exhibition 'Orizzonti tremanti' (Trembling Horizons), curated by Marcella Beccaria, delves into the concept of processual art in 2023. The exhibit, set in the Manica Lunga, showcases interactive installations that create real-time projections using light on artificial water surfaces and mirrors, referred to as 'kaleidoramas.' Key works include 'Navigation star for utopia' (2022) and various kaleidoramas: 'Your curious kaleidorama,' 'Your power kaleidorama,' 'Your self-reflective kaleidorama,' 'Your hesitant kaleidorama,' 'Your memory of the kaleidorama,' and 'Your living kaleidorama.' The display concludes with 'Your non-human friend and navigator,' engaging with the Arte Povera movement, and runs at Castello di Rivoli, examining the viability of processual art after 2020.
