An installation by French artist JR on the façade of Palazzo Strozzi, representing the wound inflicted by the pandemic to cultural institutions. The b/w photographic collage visualises a rip in the physical structure of the building that reveals its interior, in part real (the colonnade of Palazzo Strozzi's courtyard), in part imagined (rooms hosting art exhibitions and libraries), creating an arresting contrast to the brown stone of the Palazzo.
In the PIP: a glimpse of the actual interior courtyard seen past its b/w photographic counterpart.

Non sono molto favorevole a queste istallazioni moderne in luoghi d'arte, ma non sono un critico d'arte e quindi non insisto.
Mi piacerebbe, comunque, osservarla da vicino e con calma, peccato che in questo periodo il gran caldo mi tenga lontano da Firenze ....
Un caro saluto
Fabio
