Multimedia Installation "By Force of Display" by Nora Ancarola

Through a two-part audiovisual installation set in the Educational Space and Room 14 of the Romanesque Art Collection, artist Nora Ancarola unveils the mechanisms that keep the museum alive. This exhibition encourages visitors to imagine that the underground galleries house the agents of balance, containment, play, and enigma. The artist explores the museum without the barrier of 'public access', suggesting that the entire museum serves as an immense archive. Nora Ancarola's work reflects a deep engagement with architecture as envisioned by Gae Aulenti, framing the museum's collections and archives as integral to what has lost its place. This installation invites contemplation of how art interacts with space and memory, prompting viewers to consider their own experiences within the museum and the narratives that these spaces hold.
