Tutti i presenti che non sono mai esistiti

Tutti i presenti che non sono mai esistiti is the result of a dialog between the Swiss artist Roger Weiss and the Italian-Swiss artist Valentina De'Mathà about the concept of identity, memory, the perception of reality and the present.
The rooms of the StadtGalerie Brixen become a metaphorical apartment in which different levels of intimacy develop depending on how you enter.
The special architecture of the gallery is dominated by an elongated room with two independent entrances. The artistic intervention divides the perception of the space into two units through a chromatic duality: In one area the walls are dark, in the other white. Depending on which entrance you choose, the exhibition is perceived in completely different ways, opening up two possible readings of the story.
The comparison between the works of the two artists creates a dialectical perspective through reflections on memory and the transformation of the perception of time, the tension between the material and the immaterial, between the representation of events and cultural psychological analysis.
