Turin's Christmas: Videomapping on Piazza San Carlo and Via Nizza

For the 2022 Christmas season, Turin presents two videomapping projects. In Piazza San Carlo, 'Torino Città Dinamica' projects 70 images from city museum collections onto palace facades until January 8, from 6 to 11 PM. The initiative by the City of Turin, realized by Fondazione per la Cultura Torino and 24 ORE Cultura, features works from the Gallerie d'Italia, Museo del Risorgimento, and Fondazione Torino Musei. The 12-minute mapping by Milan collective Karmachina includes a soundtrack spanning Rossini to Steve Reich. Under the porticoes of Via Nizza, 'Spazio Portici – Percorsi Creativi' Episode 5 'Body Talks' presents video art by Marina Abramović, Charles Atlas, Vito Acconci, and Hasan Elahi, plus interactive mapping by Sintetica Collective. Curators Karin Gavassa and Roberto Mastroianni call it Europe's first museum-grade video and sound art exhibition in public space. The project runs nightly and includes QR codes for deeper engagement. On January 16, Fluxfilm Anthology by Fluxus founder George Maciunas will screen at Cinema Teatro Baretti.
