Environment, nature and human beings are at the heart of Mario Ceroli’s exhibition set up in the underground space designed by James Stirling in the 1950s at Palazzo Citterio. The artist presents 10 installations-sculptures conceived as a single environment, which blend poetry, social criticism and material experimentation. At the heart of the Venice itinerary: an imposing installation of 62 pine trunks, a tribute to the Lagoon city and its extraordinary artisan engineering. Ceroli addresses the humankind of today in the hope of awakening in them a new civil conscience, which arises from the “infinite marvelous forms of nature” described by Charles Darwin.
