Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster presents PISTARAMA , a work specially designed for the northern parabolic curve of Pista 500 which represents the first panorama that Gonzalez-Foerster creates outdoors and the first of monumental size, with a total length of over 150 metres.
The work consists of an XXL collage, which takes its cue from the political and cultural history of Turin and extends to episodes and figures linked to struggles for social claims that span a multiplicity of different times and geographies . Through the presence of historical and fictional characters, works of art, documents, photographs, cinematographic references and visions of the artist, the project reflects on the way in which collective bodies claim the space of cities, starting from two fundamental modalities: the practice of writing in public space and the shared movement of bodies marching in demonstration. The work thus recounts and celebrates the way in which the union of people and their collective action can become agents of social change and at the same time aspires to be a tool for confronting history, including that of the former Lingotto factory which houses the Pinacoteca.
