Heba Y. Amin at the second edition of Push the Limits at Fondazione Merz
Fondazione Merz presents the second edition of Push the Limits, an exhibition project curated by Claudia Gioia, and Beatrice Merz. Referencing Mario Merz’s statement “culture strips to reveal war,” the exhibition explores how culture must shed its quiet image in moments of conflict and highlights art’s capacity to respond to urgent issues and act as a catalyst for change. This edition emphasizes the freedom and responsibility of art and culture, particularly at a time when principles of coexistence and law are continually unsettled.
Inspired by the neurological phenomenon of blindsight, or the ability to see without being aware, Heba Y. Amin's Iterations on Witnessing is structured like a musical score with repetitions and rhythmic counterpoints that emphasise alterations in knowledge, transforming it into a poetic and political tale where the themes of loss, emigration and war form the plot.
The exhibition will be open at Fondazione Merz from October 27, 2025 to February 1, 2026.
