12 October - 12 November 2019, Italy, Pergine Valsugana (Trento), Galleria Contempo, "THE CURE OF FOLLY" - international project curated by Raul Zamudio (USA) and Dora Bulart

Paolo Vivian was invited to participate in the international project "THE CURE OF FOLLY" by the well-known curator of New York, Raul Zamudio and Dora Bulart. From October 12th to November 12th at the Galleria Contempo in Pergine Valsugana (Trento), there will be an exhibition of paintings, sculpture, photography, objects, videos and installations by 22 major artists from Spain, Finland, Poland, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Mexico, United States, Canada, Chile, France, Puerto Rico and Italy.
Paolo Vivian will be present with his video installation "Mare Nostrum" - a symbolic and poetic work, dedicated to the inner journey in the search for the boundaries of hope. Vivian's project is the silent conversation of future memories and the boundaries within us. The artist used a trivial object of everyday life and created an unreal world of hypnotic beauty and spiritual metamorphoses. With the transmutations of forms, with overflowing colors - those of the spirit and those of passion, Vivian draws a thin line between life and death, between Earth and Heaven. The cubes of memory in photographic installation are used by the artist for his symbolic games, where the primary elements of his own inner sea become the tools of discovery of the secrets of the essence of the internal cosmos and of awakening.
