An exhibition within an exhibition: the surrounding space seems to disappear as visitors enter two worlds of physical and digital art.

Within the Deposito at Fondazione Prada, Exsphinxion proposes an experience in which the surrounding exhibition space seems to disappear upon entry. The intervention creates its own spatial world inside the existing hall.

The sequence is divided into two parts: physical art and digital art. Objects and embodied encounters give way to images, projections and an immersive tunnel. Interior studies, including Francesco de Molfetta’s Fatman, show how this transition changes the visitor’s perception of space.

Form follows music.
As you move through the space, corridor becomes feminine, you become the masculine.
Invisible light is hidden in d-archness that ego does not seek.
