REWILD: THE CABINET OF WONDERS

REWILD. THE CABINET OF WONDERS

THE DEAL OF THE CENTURY. A new art & design installation created by The Curators Milan on occasion of the Milan Digital Week 2021: a museum, a pop-up shop, a Post-Anthropocene wunderkammer. The Curators Milan proposes a multi-level installation and experience. From the external windows of the showroom, as if from a kairos, an opening, you can just glimpse the digital transhuman skull and witness the subversion of an order that seemed consolidated, a mutation that seemed impossible: from death a new life.

The collective has transported the Transhuman Skull exhibited in Prologue back in time, transforming it from a hologram into a techno-fossil, and displaying it as a finding from another space and time: a primitive altar, a digital skull, a golden stump set ablaze by vanity.

Passing through the space-creep created inside the store where the installation permeates the spaces of its existence like a totem made of gold, almost a ritual of passage waiting to be performed, the offering to time of a transformed work or the echo of a future prayer of indulgence: the almost burnt wood evokes the tribal and primitive aspects of human movements, while the golden signs tell of the prosperity of an era, the arrogance of the Anthropocene and the illusion of transmutation.

Closing the experience and opening it up to final reflection is the magical Cabinet of Wonders, where you can buy some of the last surviving diatoms, along with organic memories, artefacts from the Anthropocene era and other wonders of biodiversity. The installations are choral works created by several elements and conceived by the creative group The Curators Milan.
