Samoa Rémy, Immersed in an Ocean of Air

The exhibition currently underway at the Mendrisio Art Museum fits coherently with Samoa Rémy's research, a path that engages with time, the universe, the invisible, and the unknown.

The works selected for the exhibition highlight the artist's ability to render perceptible the oscillations that occur between the "very near" and the "very far," between the rhythms of the universe and those of organic life forms, stimulating both the visual and auditory perception of the audience.

The exhibition unfolds around the new installation "Sounds From the Deep," a work composed of elements whose form derives from graphs that record stellar pulsations. The work was created with the desire to establish a tangible connection between the imperceptible sound of the universe and the instruments used for millennia in rituals of multiple religions and doctrines, from Taoism to Hinduism, from Christianity to Buddhism.

The exhibition includes other works created specifically for the project, including a series of tapestries reproducing images that explore the connections between primitive cosmogonies and contemporary scientific research and the strategies that, in both these fields, humanity has developed to relate to the unknown.
