The works of <strong>Vincenzo Eulisse<\/strong> open the reflection on the body as a site of metamorphosis, blending Renaissance sacredness and industrial landscapes into powerful, unsettling collages. Alongside him, <strong>Claire Fontaine<\/strong> with <em>The World\u2019s Mine Oyster<\/em> presents a luminous icon taken from the emoji repertoire, suspended between nature and digital culture. The oyster, both fragile and resilient, recalls centuries of representation and restores an image that is immediate yet dense with symbolic stratifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The path continues with <strong>Rafael Megall<\/strong>, whose pictorial language transforms the icon into a political and ornamental symbol, reflecting on the power of images in the contemporary era. With <strong>Michelangelo Pistoletto<\/strong>, the mirror becomes a relational device: <em>The Girl Taking a Picture<\/em> places the viewer at the center of the work, renewing the concept of the <strong>Third Paradise<\/strong>, a balance between nature and artifice. The theme of corporeality also finds expression in performative works: the video-performance <em>Dye<\/em> by <strong>Kawita Vatanajyankur<\/strong> and the flashmob <em>\u201cY la culpa no era m\u00eda\u201d<\/em> give the body its role as a tool of social and political protest. On the upper floor, the works of <strong>Sciacca<\/strong> and <strong>Grippo<\/strong>, interpreted by Achille Bonito Oliva as part of \u201cMetamorphism,\u201d introduce new trajectories suspended between classical myth, political critique, and contemporary existentialism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With <em>META_Paradiso<\/em>, the Concilio celebrates its <strong>20 years of activity<\/strong>, renewing its mission: to support art as a tool of research and cultural regeneration, capable of creating connections across generations, languages, and territories. The exhibition thus marks a significant chapter in this journey, uniting memory and future through the transformative power of creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>META_Paradiso<\/strong><br>\ud83d\udcc5 From September 17, 2025<br>\ud83d\udccd Caff\u00e8 Paradiso, Giardini della Biennale \u2013 Venice<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From September 17, 2025, Caff\u00e8 Paradiso will host the collective exhibition META_Paradiso, curated by the Concilio Europeo dell&#8217;Arte on the occasion of the Foundation\u2019s 20th anniversary.
