The starting point of this multimedia installation is the nature of the Hall of Diana, a place of feasting and meeting, characterised by the celebration of hunting, a social entertainment that marked the great gatherings of the nobility in the 17th century.
Frames refers to the two expressive codes related to Venaria: ‘frames’ like the film stills in the National Cinema Museum's collection, and ‘frames’ like the frames of the paintings in Diana's Room.
The project constructs a dialectical path of comparison between epochs and societies: if in the canvases still present in the Sala di Diana we see the nobility of the 17th century, the light projections created on the canvases themselves - used as ‘screens’ - offer images of the entertainment of the people and the petty bourgeoisie of the 20th century.
