Berlin – The Italian Cultural Institute of Berlin is hosting, through April 15, 2026, the exhibition “VIDEO-VITALITY. Border Crossings in Italian Art,” conceived and curated by Giacomo Zaza. The project brings together works by Gianfranco Baruchello, Filippo Berta, Benedetta Fioravanti, Claire Fontaine, Giovanni Giaretta, Nicoletta Grillo, Eva Marisaldi, Masbedo, Luca Maria Patella, Agnese Purgatorio, and Enrico Serotti. The exhibition presents a selection that explores the use of video and film in Italian art from the 1970s to the present day. Through works that range across cinematic language, found footage, editing, and digital composition, the exhibition highlights the breaking down of disciplinary boundaries and the reinvention of visual languages. It offers the public an opportunity to reflect on the vitality and ongoing transformation of the moving image in contemporary artistic research. As the curator writes: “The title VIDEO-VITALITY carries with it some of the most significant and lesser-known Italian experiments in Berlin, considering video as a “vitalistic”, synesthetic experience of relating to the world, both internal and external: an indispensable, performative and regenerative relationship between our liquid, infinitely changeable being and the territories, contexts, and realities that always bring nature and culture together”.
