From 17 February to 6 May the MAN Museum hosted the exhibition The still event , curated by Cristiana Collu, Saretto Cincinelli and Alessandro Sarri, renewing the now consolidated partnership with the “Casa Masaccio” exhibition center in San Giovanni Valdarno. The exhibition was born from the idea – following Borges’s idea of ​​associating the universe with a library (of Babel) – of equating time with an (infinite) book, with something that can therefore be read, interpreted and leafed through in an ever-changing manner. different. A risky hypothesis from which derives the idiomatic expression “flipping through time” used as the subtitle for the sixth edition of this review. The exhibition analysed, through the presentation of video and cinematographic works, what is permanent and fixed in every moving image and, at the same time, investigated the availability of time to be captured in its own interval. The demonstration attempted to outline a sort of time in a vegetative state, a temporality in a state of arrest, in stalemate, such that it cannot be classified as simple movement or simple stasis. In a sort of return to the origins, the review ranged from mythical and seminal films such as The jetée by Chris Marker and Nostalgia by Hollis Frampton, to historical works by Ken Jacobs and Malcolm Le Grice, to reach the present day with works by Rob Carter, George Drivas, Paolo Meoni, Alejandro Moncada, Alexandra Navratil, Alexandros Papathanasiou, Katja Pratschke & Gustáv Hámos, Margot Quan Knight, Katherine Segura Harvey, Kathrin Sonntag, Jutta Strohmaier, Arnold von Wedemeyer.
