Cavazaque Piu Piu

Opening: 4 May, 4pm

Cavazaque Piu Piu is a solo exhibition by Musa paradisiaca that proposes an environment for direct and non-mediated knowledge through approximations and highlights. This experience is made possible as lights electronically programmed synchronise a set of objects and a sound piece.

“So, we spoke about a history of smells… one that is yet to be done. This would imply knowing everything at least once (...).”
For a history of smells, sound piece, 2010-2019,
