Mondo Reale

Mondo Reale, part of the 23rd International Exhibition Unknown Unknowns. An Introduction to Mysteries is a reflection on the concepts of mystery and the unknown through the work of 17 international artists.

Including films, paintings, photography, installations and sculptures, it explores the reality as a reverie, proposing an aesthetic experience around knowledge: a direct, emotional encounter with multiple visions of the unknown through the lens of art and science.

David Lynch's Weather Report is broadcast daily within the exhibition at 7pm sharp.

Alex Cerveny’s work for Mondo Reale is an invitation to take the time to stop, look and listen to the multitude of creatures populating both reality and fiction. 

Ron Mueck's Man in a Boat reflects an inner world of private feelings. By creating over-scaled or under-scaled human-like sculptures, the artist proposes a journey into the subconscious, engaging the visitors in a deep empathetic link with archetypical figures.

"I don't know when the blackboard was invented, but it was probably one of the best inventions of a human." The physicist Carlo Rovelli on the conceptual and visual beauty of science, as imagined by the artist Jessica Wynne.

Mondo Reale is imagined as a landing on our planet to bring attention to the wonders that make it up and the secrets that underlie its inscrutable perfection.
