Ernesto Neto - Art on Earth

On the occasion of the exhibition Mentre la vita ci respira - SoPolpoVit'EreticoLe, Emanuele Coccia reflects on Ernesto Neto's practice and his transformation of the exhibition space into a living architecture - an interactive environment that invites viewer participation, forging a deep connection between body, environment, and community. Coccia explores the potential of Neto's artistic approach, where aesthetic experience is partially mediated through the senses, including smell - too often overlooked in artistic engagement - here invoked to awaken deep-seated memories and emotions.
