At Museo Correr, two visions of time collide: with neoclassical sculptures seeking to immortalize the human form in stone, and the turning tide of ‘Spiral Economy’, revealing the limits of our boundless consumerism of both natural and unnatural resources.
It plays on the concept of cabinets of curiosity—the Wunderkammer—traditionally used to display conquered and collected objects, driven by Western narratives of exploration and power.
In this exhibition, that perspective is challenged by the circular, metabolic logic of the Earth. By placing ancient ammonites inside the spiraling coils of a vending machine, the work critiques the illusion of infinite resources, collapsing deep geological time into the instant gratification of modern trade.
