The 729th Perdonanza Celestiniana offers an opportunity for a reflection on the sense of the sacred and its significance in our time.
Twenty-three artists active on the national and international scene of contemporary art have explored the role and identification of sacredness in a society devoted to fast lifestyle and which has made concreteness and pragmatism associated with science, technology and economy its pivot, apparently abandoning any speculation and investigation of that territory suspended between the visible and invisible that has nurtured the spiritual and philosophical dimension of generations of intellectuals, theologians, and mystics at least as much as it has shaped and punctuated the individual and collective daily life of every human community.
Does the sacred still exist – and if so, where -in the time of artificial intelligence, of obsessive and compulsive communication dominated by information and images, in which the line between real and virtual is increasingly blurred and uncertain?
