A selection of works that exploit the iconic power of football to explore themes such as the commodification of sport, national identity, politics and poetry.
The global sport par excellence, football is not only competition or entertainment, but also a mirror of social, political and identity tensions. The stadium, a place of collective rituals and shared passions, is transformed in these works into a symbolic space where issues related to power, the body, gender, belonging and memory emerge.
Between irony and drama, documentation and fiction, these works span more than twenty years of artistic research, demonstrating how football, in its omnipresence, can become a poetic device and a tool for criticism.
Featuring works by: Miguel Calderón, Emma Ciceri, Cristian Chironi, Danilo Correale, Stephen Dean, Giovanni de Cataldo, Paola Di Bello, Antoni Muntadas, Giancarlo Neri, Matteo Peterlini, Sara Sjölin, Sam Taylor-Johnson, Santo Tolone, Enzo Umbaca.
