From February 22 until July 19, Palazzo Strozzi in Florence will be the home of a beautiful exhibition of the works of Tomas Saraceno.
The multifaceted architect studied at the best universities of architecture in Europe and beyond and only recently moved permanently to Germany.
Now for Italy, specifically Florence has created a series of spherical-shaped installations suspended throughout the plexus.
Strange shapes dominate the ceilings of the entire palace creating a play of light and shadow, an atmosphere populated by cobwebs and an unconventional surreal atmosphere for an exhibition.

Saraceno, with his works, manages to totally change the point of view on reality and to connect with unusual and often little used elements such as dust, spiders or plants that slowly become protagonists of his installations.
In a path of works and participatory experiences between the courtyard and the Piano Nobile, a unique context, an exhibition really never seen before.
An exhibition that enhances the historical and symbolic context of Palazzo Strozzi and Florence through a deep and original dialogue immersed in the Renaissance, which travels from man to the center of the world, to man as part of a universe in which to seek a new harmony.

“The work also aims to raise awareness and in part polemicize the complex issue of the environmental issue, the architect has in fact issued the following statement: “carbon emissions fill the air, particulate matter floats in our lungs, while electromagnetic radiation envelops the earth. However, it is possible to imagine a different era, the Aerocene, characterized by a sensitivity projected towards a new ecology of behavior.
Ecosystems must be thought of as networks of interaction within which every living being evolves together with the others. Focusing less on individuality and more on reciprocity, we can go beyond the consideration of the means necessary to control the environment and hypothesize a shared development of our everyday life.
Let the web guide us.”

The exhibition at Palazzo Strozzi is based on Tomas Saraceno’s “arachnomancy” papers, a set of thirty-three papers linking all the works on display.
The architect has been able to transform the entire historic building into a unique, sensory and experimental journey, inviting the viewer to reflect more and more on the way we live.
