CityLimits_catalogo01Connecting with the theme of the Shanghai Expo 2010 “Better City, Better Life”, the exhibit offers an oneiric vision of the real and imaginary boundaries found in contemporary cities, presented through the interpretation of five artists living in Emilia Romagna and working in the field of video art and photography.
“Close your eyes and dream”: the exhibit suggests to us metaphorically that we blot out our visual perception, mentally distancing ourselves from urban civilization while remaining within its boundaries. This temporary sensory privation can enable man to place himself in a boundary zone from which it is easier to see the path to follow in order to achieve a “better city” and a “better life”.


与 2010 年上海世博会的主题“城市，让生活更美好”密切相关，该展览提供当代城市中真实和想象边界的梦想远景，并通过生活在艾米利亚 – 罗马涅以及在视频艺术和摄影领域工作的五位艺术家阐述。 “闭上双眼，开启梦想”：展览通过比喻方式，提示我们遮掩了自己的视觉感知能力，在保持处于城市文明边界之内的同时在精神上远离它。这种暂时的感觉丧失能让一个人将自己放置在一个边界区域中，从中可以更轻松地看到要遵循的途径，以实现“更好的城市”和“更好的生活”。
