Atlante della meraviglia. Wunderkammer dal Medioevo a oggi
by Gigli, Francesca Anita
Atlante della meraviglia. Wunderkammer dal Medioevo a oggi
A visual journey into the Wunderkammer, the chambers of curiosities born between the Renaissance and the Baroque to contain the world and its enigmas. Between sacred relics and wondrous objects, narwhal horns, automata, natural anomalies, and astrological instruments, the book explores collecting as a symbolic gesture and a response to emptiness. A cultural and illustrated narrative that moves through centuries of wonder, between science and superstition, theatrical excess and intimate archives, up to contemporary collections.
Francesca Anita Gigli scrive di arte e cultura visiva. Dal 2022 collabora con Finestre sull’Arte, per cui firma articoli e approfondimenti nelle edizioni online e cartacea. È autrice e voce dei podcast Oltre la tela e Intelligenza Reale. Nel 2021 ha fondato Likeitalians, progetto dedicato alla divulgazione dell’arte sui canali digitali in collaborazione con istituzioni culturali ed editori. Cura la newsletter Note a margine e insegna linguaggi dell’arte contemporanea e comunicazione visiva applicata al graphic design.
