Stefano Cagol on Climate Change at Castello di San Michele

exhibition · 2026-05-04

Stefano Cagol (b. 1969) presents a solo exhibition at Castello di San Michele in Ossana, Trentino, running until September 15. The show addresses global issues including climate change, glacial melt, and shifting wind patterns through video, photographic, and installation works. Cagol uses evocative imagery such as burning snow, fleeing soil, and wounded terrain to prompt reflection on complex systems. The exhibition references philosopher Timothy Morton's concept of 'hyperobjects'—phenomena that are widespread yet elusive. The display is installed in the historic castle spaces, creating a dialogue between contemporary art and the medieval setting.
