Notes

"N'importe où hors du monde. Les Amis du Peuple: Les mediateurs evanescents" represented the first—and most substantial—part of a solo exhibition divided into three different locations: the Château des Adhemar, the Château de Suze, and the Château de Grignan.

The exhibition presented a collection of new works, including large-scale installations and sculptures that referred to the disciplined era of the castle's conflict-ridden past. Whether by covering all the walls with large semi-transparent papers displaying a procession of former residents of the castle from different eras, or by arranging a set of antique sculptures on which he has drawn, Mastrovito Offered an exhibition that blended past and present, reality and symbols, in a formal and aesthetic register that was both diverse and multifaceted.
The scenography was orchestrated around productions created mainly in situ and immersed the audience in the world of literary figures (Oscar Wilde) and French history (the Revolution, Marat, etc.).
