Itamar Gov presents his new work Of Divination Caves and Photochemical Prophecies at KUNSTFEST - Festa dell‘Arte (11/06/2025)


As a current Casa Baldi fellow, Itamar Gov presented his new work Of Divination Caves and Photochemical Prophecies at KUNSTFEST - Festa dell‘Arte on June 11, 2025.

Of Divination Caves and Photochemical Prophecies is an ongoing series of images created with a mixture of ferric ammonium oxalate and potassium ferricyanide, and direct sunlight. These are elements from Gov’s visual and semiotic inquiry into divination caves in the Lazio region, colliding history and mythology, dream and archaeology, reality and imagination. Deconstructing environments, meddling with the essence of sunlight, and bringing together elements that may not seem related at first glance, he invites viewers to trace subtle nuances within the pieces and to become part of an inquisitive process of divination.
