Cinzia Romanin: Transcendance exhibition in Portugal

Transcendence

2022-2023

While since the dawn of time humans have relied on divine destiny, science has recently made us realise how much our daily choices are defining our future world. Faced with the dilemma of losing our immediate comfort or our lasting well-being provided by our ecosystems, we could then wonder which path are we going to choose. How can we improve our resilience ? Can we really believe that technology is going to save us ? Or should we instead opt for degrowth ? Will we be able to achieve a form of transcendence with the living world surrounding us ?

Combining personal narratives and landscape metamorphoses observations, Transcendence investigates different ways to be resilient by addressing topics such as alternative habitats, new technologies, low- tech, finite resources and biodiversity preservation. Through her analog large format camera lens, Cinzia Romanin’s glance invites to slow down, look around and reflect on our current and future decisions impacts.
