Exhibition
A View From Above

Opening dates
02.05–02.06.2024
Curated by
Domenico Quaranta, Salvatore Vitale and Samuele Piazza

In 2011, artist and writer Hito Steyerl introduced the concept of ‘vertical perspective’ to address the “departure of a stable paradigm of orientation”, and to describe what can be seen, to all effects, as the emergence of a new scopic regime.
