Derived from the poetic fusion between super (from Latin, al di sopra “above”) and nature (from Latin natura, “what is born, the order of things”), the word supernature indicates a nature that expands beyond its visible boundaries. It is a conceptual threshold where the organic merges with the invisible, the divine is refracted in the technological and reality opens up to mythological and sensitive dimensions. A fluid territory, suspended between science, spirituality and speculative fiction.
Ambra Castagnetti comes back to Francesca Minini with an innovative and experimental project that mixes different media and new technologies, such as music, cinema and architecture.
The artist builds a bridge between the real and the imaginary and leads the viewer to cross it to embark on a journey in multiple simultaneous dimensions.
The installation Fusion: Gemini Sun, Gemini Rising (2025), composed by two sculptures on a pedestal of Innocenti tubes, welcomes us in the first room. The two figures stand out on a scaffolding and seem to dance, or kiss, suspended in the void. Later we will find them in the film, as if they were living fossils, witnesses of a memory that moves between biological and digital.
A few steps further we find ourselves in front of a visual totem, a Ledwall that projects Ambra Castagnetti’s first video work: .EXE (2025), a visual and sound meditation on the birth of consciousness and its possible end.
Through metaphysical rooms and interior landscapes, the main character, an avatar of the artist, passes through places that seem quantum dreams, questioning what determines identity: is it the choice that defines us, or are we configured even before birth?
At the end of the path (or perhaps at the beginning?) we find Seraphim (2025), an angelic apparition, neither pacified nor reassuring, but elusive in its perfection that, in the form of a hologram, becomes disturbing.
Absolute beauty often coincides with vertigo.
For the production of digital works (.EXE and Seraphim) Ambra Castagnetti thanks Edoardo Bracchi, Roxy Ceron and Jacopo Sacchi.
