The exhibition presents a selection of works by Mario Merz, including installations, igloos, tables, canvases and works on paper, and starts from the concept described by the anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss and linked to the need to identify the profound nature behind patterns in order to arrive at the basis of human thought, which in its diversity is always defined by laws that escape the flow of time and the variety of environments. The title of the exhibition was extrapolated from an essay by Mario Merz and relates to this need to look at nature and the passage of time in order to achieve a sense of conceptual lightness, which is found in the nucleus of works presented.
