Formafantasma - Mondo Reale 
23rd International Exhibition Triennale di Milano @triennalemilano July 15 - December 15, 2022 Mondo Reale is the exhibition presented by Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, as part of the 23rd International Exhibition Unknown Unknowns. An introduction to Mysteries. Mondo Reale has been imagined as a landing on our planet, a step into the unknown of the everyday world. Departing from this statement, the exhibition design aimed to respond to an apparently simple question: what is reality in the context of a fabricated exhibition? One of the main intervention consists of three walls made of Japanese paper Takeo that host some of the masterpieces presented in Mondo Reale. A first lightly curved partition frames the painting Mondo Reale by Alex Cervenny, a 'visual map to reorder all human knowledge'. A tower shaped pavilion circumscribes the mystical movie by Andrei Ujica, 2Pasolini, creating a feeling of reverence and spirituality. This is accentuated by the materiality of the pavilion that allows for transparent and natural light to illuminate the space from the back. At the end of the path an S shaped wall encompasses and highlights the work of Sarah Sze, Tracing the Falling Sky, on one side, while on the other it creates a small private chamber where visitors can stop, sit on an armchair and take part of the conversation between David Lynch and Jack, the monkey protagonist of the short movie What did Jack do?.
