Chiara Dynys. Labirinti di memoria

Curated by Fortunato D'Amico

  • 07 May 2010 - 25 September 2010

The Central State Archives in Rome hosts since May 7 to September 25, 2010, the exhibition “Chiara Dynys. Labyrinths of Memory”, curated by Fortunato D’Amico.
The artist draws a real maze among corridors and stairways, where site specific installations, video projections, interactive works and the obsessive presence of the paper create an alchemical journey that explores the ideally thin line between past and present by offering an opportunity for meetings between history and contemporary world.
The event allows the opening to the public, for the very first time, of the deposits of the Central State Archives, the historical building in the EUR district that keeps inside millions of documents and represents, over half a century, the point of essential reference for research on the history of our united country. The entire archive is in fact a gigantic monument to the memory, preserved in a hundred kilometres of shelves.
