The exhibition displays a selection of works from the Naturografie series, works that arise from contact with the waters of the Tiber, created by the artist starting from 2022 along the course of the river, from its source to its mouth. The methodology behind the genesis of these works involved the immersion of large canvases for a long period of time - about a year - in the river bed, letting its waters interact with the supports. This procedure allowed the surfaces of the canvases to reproduce visual stratifications, textures, chromatic moods, material sedimentations which, in turn, constitute the result of the symbiosis of the supports with the Tiber ecosystem.

The exhibition highlights how the author's modus operandi is susceptible to a plurality of readings, all equally valid, now of an artistic nature regarding the link between art and landscape, now philosophical regarding the synergy between man and nature, now ecological regarding knowledge of the environment. Roberto Ghezzi's Naturographies can therefore be undertaken as an object of interdisciplinary comparison, in particular with the scientific field. They preserve in their constitution the biological and chemical properties of the habitat at the basis of their conformation, thus also corresponding to potential reserves of information relating to a specific place in a given period of time.

In this regard, to offer an exhaustive enjoyment of the artist's work and practices, the exhibition of the works created in the bed of the "eternal river" will be accompanied both by the relative critical discussion and by technical-scientific reports elaborated by the academic subjects who collaborated on the project, through an in-depth moment scheduled for 6.00 pm which will precede the inauguration.
