On 20 May 2025 at 6.30 p.m., at Triennale Milano, there will be the presentation of the book 5 secondi. Andrea Martinucci edited by Lisa Andreani and published by Arbor Editions.
Like a flipbook, the volume invites readers to reflect on the possibility of pausing, slowing down, and letting go. This is precisely what happens in 5 secondi, the work that gives the book and the exhibition, presented at the Fondazione Baruchello, their title.
Martinucci documents an action performed in a public space. The central gesture-a simple fall-is broken down into one hundred and twenty frames, revealing the transformative potential of a fleeting instant. On one side, the volume gathers a polyphony of voices – Maria Alicata, Lisa Andreani, Damiano Gullì in conversation with the artist, Serena Schioppa, and Carla Subrizi – who reflect on the meaning and perception of a minimal span of time. On the other, it presents the artist’s exhibition project in the form of a cinematic flipbook and a record that emerges from the pages.
Speakers: Lisa Andreani , independent curator and PhD researcher at IUAV University of Venice; Andrea Martinucci, visual artist; Edoardo Visalli, founder of Bahut studio in Rome and editor at Arbor Editions.
Moderator: Damiano Gulli, Curator for Contemporary art and public program at Triennale Milano, and contributor to the book.
