Treti Galaxie, in collaboration with Museo Pietro Micca and Associazione Amici del Museo Pietro Micca, is delighted to present sept préludes, the first solo show by French artist Clémence de La Tour du Pin in Italy.
The exhibition will be installed 13 meters underground in the galleries, tunnels and combat rooms of the Pastiss Underground Fortress, built in the XVI Century by Duke Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy. Buried since 1705, the space will open to the public for the very first time on the occasion of the exhibition.
La Tour du Pin envisions Pastiss’ labyrinthine network of tunnels as intrauterine architecture, which she compares to the unconscious side of the city of Torino – with its forgotten souls, desires and hidden phobias.
For sept préludes the artist has developed a space-sensitive walk in the depths of the Fortress, involving displacement interventions, fictional elements and gaseous sample systems. In this psychogeographical exploration of the space visitors are invited to develop an alternative awareness of the underground landscape through sensorial immersion and non-linear narrative guided tours.
Nourishing her fascination for her great-uncle Charles de Brosses – who coined the term “fetishism” and explored the Cittadella in 1740 – the artist has set up filter systems at some of the deepest points of the galleries in order to seek and extract samples of shadows and impurities preserved in the atmosphere of the place.
Free admission and upon reservation only, and subject to availability (max 12 people for each visit) according to the following schedule:
– October 26 and 27 (5pm – 7pm)
– From November 2 to November 5 (10.30am – 12.30am)
– November 9, 10, 16, 17, 23, 24 and 29 (5pm – 7pm)
The exhibition is not recommended for those with motorial difficulties, sight and hearing related problems, claustrophobia, current cardiac or lung dysfunctions, disorientation syndromes (labyrinthitis, vertigo, etc.) In order to access the installation visitors will be asked to sign a Waiver of Liability form.
Project realized thanks to the generous contribution of Sandro Mori.
