Davide Dicorato’s solo exhibition “Il Peso delle nuvole” is currently on view at Museo Scienze Naturali di Brescia.
The restlessness, the heaviness and the growing sense of guilt linked to the relationship between man and nature lie within each of us. In recent years, to this sense of unease it has been given the name of eco-anxiety.
The artist relates to this "culture of disappointment" with an empirical approach, placing himself in the role of mediator between man and nature through associations, the search for balances and harmonies.
The aim is, as in the practice of shamanism born over 30,000 years ago, to bring the viewer into deep contact with Nature and the animal beings.
Through his artistic practice, Dicorato has had the opportunity to visit places on the margins where ruins are the protagonists. Looking for artifacts in the most disparate corners, he follows the traces of a time that flows inexorably and that brings with it an alternative vision. A return to nature that has now faded and forces us to rethink our relationships with the environment around us, in a new increasingly complex and structured way, made up of layers that continually overlap.
The result of this research translates into an exhibition, for which the artist has created the entire display, using large ventilation pipes that act as sculptural supports and as indicators of the path to follow. Davide Dicorato’s display is placed in close dialogue with some animal finds, carefully selected together with the zoologist Melania Massaro of the Museum of Natural Sciences of Brescia, which are part of the permanent collection of the museum.
The exhibition has been curated by Ilaria Bignotti, Melania Massaro and Camilla Remondina and it is part of the program
