Unaroma

Exhibition Design, MACRO Museum, from 11th of December 2025 to 03 of May 2026, Rome.

The major group show launching MACRO’s new season conveys an image of Rome’s hybrid, diverse, and generative art scene. UNAROMA composes a tracking shot of the city filmed through an ideal green screen: a continuous narrative moving through its cultural fabric, made of encounters between heterogeneous communities in constant ferment. If, in cinema, the green screen is a technique that allows multiple images to be layered, in the exhibition it becomes a common surface on which to compose and project a stratification of gestures, actions, and visions by over seventy artists from different generations and practices. Designed by Parasite 2.0, the display occupies the two large halls of the building by Odile Decq. Like a film alternating moments of stasis and action, the exhibition unfolds in three parts: Set, Live, and Off. On the ground floor, Set takes the form of a wide green strip running through the space, along which works unfold in sequence through painting, photography, video, sculpture, and mostly new installations. On the first floor, Live expands the green screen to occupy the entire space, with scenic devices designed to host weekly live actions, concerts, DJ sets, conversations, workshops, and screenings. Engaging a network of artists, collectives, and curatorial and editorial platforms, each intervention leaves a trace of its passage through the museum, like a fragment of a collective film in constant becoming.
