PARALLEL WORLD

A Journey Between Imagination and Reality

Concept by Matilde Della Pina Senior Art Curator

In an era in which our perception of reality is constantly challenged by media, technology, and the collective imagination, “Parallel Worlds: A Journey Between Imagination and Reality” presents itself as an experience where art becomes a gateway to alternative and parallel universes. The exhibition explores the power of fantasy to create worlds that defy the laws of nature, logic, and science, inviting artists to reflect on the subtle line between what is imaginary and what is tangible.

Each artwork represents an alternative reality, a “parallel world” that reflects the desires, fears, aspirations, and anxieties of our contemporary society. These worlds may be fantastical, utopian, dystopian, or even surreal, yet they also act as mirrors of our own world, offering a critical or idealized vision of what could be or what we have become.

The exhibition ventures into the idea that reality is never static, but rather continuously evolving through imagination. What if the worlds we dream of could truly exist? What if fantasy were the key to better understanding our own reality? Through a visual and sensory journey, the audience is invited to “enter” these worlds, challenging their understanding of space, time, and identity.

“Parallel Worlds: A Journey Between Imagination and Reality” aims to stimulate reflection on the transformative power of fantasy and on the interaction between the imaginary and the real. Through a multiplicity of alternative worlds, the exhibition invites the audience to “lose themselves” in parallel universes that, while born of imagination, are deeply connected to psychological, social, and technological realities. An immersive experience that encourages reflection on the infinite possibilities of the human mind and on the way we create and experience our reality.
