Video Gallery

In this two-screen video by Italian video artist Grazia Toderi, a pair of Gemini space capsules are seen rotating within the dome of a Baroque church. The twin spaceships floating weightlessly within the church environment create a link between celestial and terrestrial space, between the dome of the church and the heavenly dome of the cosmos.

Grazia Toderi lives and works in Milan, Italy. She has appeared in solo exhibitions at the Castello di Rivoli in Turin, Italy; the Ludwig Museum in Cologne, Germany; and the Fundaciò Joan Mirò in Barcelona , Spain. She was awarded the Golden Lion at the 1999 Venice Biennial for her participation in the Italian Pavilion.
