Code / none

Inspired by the Anatomical Theatre of Padua, Italy—the world’s first permanent anatomical theatre, inaugurated in 1595, a symbol of scientific progress in the study of anatomy and a model for anatomical theatres in major European universities—which Goethe visited and admired during his journey to Italy, Teatro Anatómico aims to dissect and reflect upon a complex, sinuous, and organic collection, misaligned with the field of contemporary art. At the same time, Teatro Anatómico invites a local sensory experience that engages bodies and the materiality of images in the era of the virtual economy. In a political gesture, it calls upon us to consider cruelty as a means of suspending the cycles of barbarity.
