The Ninfeo of Villa Giulia in Rome, National Etruscan Museum (ETRU), opens up to contemporary art, hosting the solo exhibition of the Japanese artist Keita Miyazaki, The Eternal Duality - Where the water flows, between history and rebirth, curated by Pier Paolo Scelsi, with the co-curation of Ilaria Cera and the artistic direction of Riccardo Freddo. A reflection on the fragility of modernity and the possible harmony between past and future through a series of sculptures and installations born from the encounter between industrial materials, paper, light and sound elements, in dialogue with the history and architecture of the space.

Among the most intimate and hidden corners of the Villa, the Ninfeo, recently restored and returned to the public, becomes a living space for experimentation and vision; a new narrative resulting from the collaboration between the National Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulia (ETRU), IUVART - LoveItaly, CREA - Cantieri per il Contemporaneo and the Rosenfeld Gallery in London, who together propose an innovative project in the heart of the city.

The protagonist is Keita Miyazaki, an artist who has made contradiction his subject. Born in Tokyo in 1983, Miyazaki lives and works between Japan and the United Kingdom. After the 2011 tsunami, which he witnessed directly, he shaped a radical poetic research capable of questioning the fragility of the world through materials: discarded car engines, industrial metals, folds of origami paper, sewn felt, and sounds from urban everyday life intertwine in his sculptures, evoking worlds that oscillate between apocalypse and rebirth. The artist retrieves the ruins of our modernity to transfigure them into an aesthetics of reconciliation.
