The starting point of this multimedia installation is the nature of the Diana Hall, a place for celebrations and gatherings, characterized by the celebration of hunting, a social entertainment that marked the grand gatherings of nobility in the seventeenth century.

Frames refers to the two expressive codes related to Venaria: "frames" as the frames of the films in the collection of the National Cinema Museum, and "frames" as the frames of the paintings in the Diana Hall.

The project builds a dialectical path of comparison between epochs and societies: while in the paintings still present in the Diana Hall we see the nobility of the seventeenth century, the luminous projections made on the paintings themselves - used as "screens" - offer images of popular amusements and small bourgeoisie of the twentieth century.

In this way, by contaminating figurative art of the past and modern multimedia representation, the self-celebratory function of the Diana Hall by the Savoy family is put into dialogue with the small, everyday popular self-celebration of family parties, outings, first communions, and early twentieth-century weddings.

Frames is a site-specific project conceived by Davide Ferrario for the Diana Hall of the Royal Palace. It stems from the research path of an author who, known primarily as a film director, has always experimented with using images beyond the projection room to bring them into other contexts.
