A young woman is seated and reads, in the book that accompanies the work, the identification codes of 330 pieces of space debris imprinted on clay. Each name, spoken out loud or whispered, corresponds to one of the 10,000 largest items of space junk in orbit around the Earth, an unusual archive of human presence in space. The action proceeds at intervals of 15 minutes throughout the evening.
Two exhibitions will be opened on the same evening: Roma 1961-1969, a retrospective on the American painter Marcia Hafif, and Il sospetto del paradiso on the poet Patrizia Cavalli.
Free admission.
