On Saturday, February 8, GAMeC staff will take you on a guided tour through Zogno, Serina and San Pellegrino Terme to discover the new projects of Thinking Like a Mountain.

As a preview of the tournée that will touch several municipalities in the Bergamo valleys from February to May, there will be special screenings of three films produced by GAMeC: Paraflu by Michela de Mattei and Invernomuto, MUT by Giulio Squillacciotti, and Migratori by Agnese Galiotto.

In Serina we will visit the winning exhibition project of the twelfth edition of the Premio Lorenzo Bonaldi per l’Arte: Fossi io teco; e perderci nel verde by curator Greta Martina.

THE EVENT IS SOLD OUT

Departure from GAMeC
Via San Tomaso, 53 – Bergamo

Film Projections

MUT by Giulio Squillacciotti
In the Art Nouveau-style Hydroelectric Power Plant in Zogno, Giulio Squillacciotti’s film, made in collaboration with the Bergamo Chamber of Commerce as part of the second edition of MADE Film Festival, will be presented. Through the eyes of two young farmers and their parents, MUT recounts the cyclical nature of life in mountain huts, which becomes a universal portrait of working with animals and of family relationships made up of actions, silences, and affection, steeped in nature.

Migratori by Agnese Galiotto
The Cinema Trieste in Zogno will host the projection of the work by Agnese Galiotto, which winds along the natural migratory route that crosses Italy and extends to North Africa, along paths followed by many bird species. This flight corridor geographically and ecologically connects various ecosystems, highlighting how crucial these phenomena are for the biodiversity and ecological sustainability of the Alps and surrounding areas. Migratori focuses on the complex interaction between humans and nature, but the narrative also suggests a reflection on the relationship between scientific observation and animal freedom.

5:00 p.m.
Serina / Chiostro della SS. Trinità
Premio Lorenzo Bonaldi per l’Arte – EnterPrize
curated by Greta Martina
with a performance by artist Felicity Mangan

In Serina–the birthplace of Lorenzo Bonaldi, to whom the international competition for curators under 30 established by GAMeC and the Bonaldi Group in 2003 is dedicated–we will visit the winning project of the twelfth edition: Fossi io teco; e perderci nel verde by curator Greta Martina.

Drawing inspiration from the writings of Aldo Leopold and Giovanni Pascoli, the project constitutes an invitation to rediscover the connection with nature through wonder, care, and responsibility, and is divided between works, workshops and performances in the GAMeC exhibition spaces and around Bergamo. It involves artists Attila Faravelli, Enrico Malatesta, O Thiasos TeatroNatura (Sista Bramini, Camilla Dell’Agnola, and Nora Tigges), Umberto Pellini, Nicola Ratti, Lorenzo Silvestri, Valentina Viviani and Felicity Mangan, who will present the performance Listening Between the Mountain at the opening.

7 p.m.
Serina / CineTeatro Il Portico
Film Projection

Paraflu by Michela de Mattei and Invernomuto
The reappearance of wolves in various parts of Italy led Michela de Mattei and Invernomuto to analyze the figure of the wolf as a symbol of independence and knowledge, of conflict and transformation. Paraflu delves into the landscapes of the Orobie Mountains, alternating 16 mm footage with artificial intelligence-generated effects that amplify the sense of disorientation and narrative ambiguity evoked by the wolf, while also alluding to the tales of philosopher and naturalist Baptiste Morizot that describe the animal as possessing the prestidigitating art of making its own traces disappear.
