Olimpia Ferrari: Metrochip Microcity

18 April - 15 May 2007
curated by Lorenzo Benedetti

The Pastificio Cerere Foundation is pleased to announce within the VI edition of the International Festival of Rome “Fotografia”, the exhibition of the young artist Olimpia Ferrari, titled Metrochip Microcity, under the patronage of the Presidente della Regione Lazio. The Elsa Peretti Foundation has funded the realization of this exhibition as one part of its programme towards the support of young artists.

The lives of urban people unfold on the one hand amid the architecture of their cities – the spaces within which their bodies move – and on the other, in miniature, inside the equally complex mechanisms of microchips, within which their ideas, communications, and cultural exchanges move.
