Virginia Zanetti's exhibition returns, through video and photography, the performance conceived by the artist with the involvement of the trampoline team of the Etruria 1897 gymnastic society of Prato, and of the athlete of the Italian national trampoline team. Continuing the research already started by the artist in the previous project I Pillars of the Earth, he focuses on an autobiographical theme and on the concept of overcoming the individual limit The image of a person falling into the void from the perspective of the earth comes from an image by Luigi Zanetti (silver medal gymnast at the 1948 London Olympics) performing the somersault.

The overturning of the image gives the illusion of a person falling from the earth, to evoke the vulnerability of the human condition. The human being alone in fall is the result of loneliness and a sense of helplessness in the face of the pandemic, an empty space in which we find ourselves and which allows us to perceive our fragility and on the one hand, and the need for renewal drastic and an extreme sense of freedom on the other. Assuming that life develops through cyclical phases of origin, growth, degeneration, death and rebirth, both individually and collectively in the history and cycle of nature, this installation investigates the need to disintegrate and then rebuild.
