Riccardo Falbo's project

Academic year

2025 - 2026

00 marks a moment of suspension, a break in which time seems to stop. In Val d’Ala, life’s rhythm has faded: voices recede, streets empty, leaving traces of what once was. These mountains were shaped by a dense social world built on relationships and traditions. Continuity becomes sporadic presence; community turns into memory. What remains is a thick silence: between two zeros, between a rich past and a future not yet written.
 

The Searchlights is the second chapter of Ti vorrei dire, a three-year project developed in collaboration with Gallerie d'Italia - Torino, a part of Intesa Sanpaolo. The projects map out the urgencies of our time through the perspective of a new generation. Ecological and climate crises, dynamics of power and representation, identity, mental health, precarity, memory and narratives of the present run through the works, shaping a collective account that restores complexity to what is too often reduced to a label.
