The city is still a crucial theme for contemporary art. Today, metropolises are seen not only as containers of energy, strength, lights, colours, masses, and solitude by artists, but they are becoming the mirror of individual fears and collective anxieties.

These urban scapes offer numerous salient points of scenic and photographic images that invoke the sense of the the absurd. After a three month trip to eighteen cities, artist Patrick Tuttofuoco, and film directors Mattia Matteucci and Damaso Queirazza and the architect Andrea Pozzato, recreate the urban landscapes with an original edge, as if they had suddenly sprouted up out of the blue.

Revolving Landscape is dedicated to urban landscapes in contemporary art. The visual representation of the city has changed greatly in the first few years of the XXI century. It is a documentation of all possible  extreme forms of urbanisation, using interviews, photographs and writings during a journey; all of which build up the visual landscape of the exhibition, which is based on the shared memories of the group.
