The exhibition features a selection of art works by Mario Merz, including installations, igloos, tables, paintings, and drawings. It is supported by the concept of structural anthropology described by the Claude Lévi-Strauss, according to which it is necessary to identify the profound nature of models in order to grasp the foundations of human thought, which is always defined by laws that escape the passage of time and the variety of environments. Structures are thus acknowledged as something that belongs to the unconscious, similarly to the principle of reciprocity that lies at the origin of the shift from nature to culture.

The exhibition’s title was extracted from a text by Mario Merz and evokes this necessity to look at nature and the passage of time to achieve the sense of conceptual lightness that we can find in the art works presented.
