Formafantasma - Mondo Reale 
23rd International Exhibition @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? The design reused the walls that were built for the previous exhibition instead of working with additional plastered walls (a synonym for ephemerality), and partitioned remaining spaces through the use of paper. Balancing the needs of contemporary art to exist in the spatial abstraction of museums’ ‘white cubes’ has been an exercise to reconsider the ecological implications of designing a temporary space. Gathering films, paintings, photographs, ceramics, installations and sculptures, Mondo Reale welcomes seventeen international artists as well as mathematicians, physicists, and philosophers. Each artwork is an open question, an invitation to embrace mysteries. Accordingly, the space has been conceived as a series of pavilions, creating internal chambers allowing the visitors to focus on the singular element such as a video projection. The pavillions also foster a sense of permeability and connection between the different artworks. The materials used for these pavilions, mostly borrowed or recycled, allow for repair and reuse, as they include paper, wood, bricks, metal scaffoldings, and woollen carpets.
