Giancarlo Lamonaca: RAUSCHEN
In a world where digital images have become the dominant form of memory, the exhibition Rauschen (Noise) asks what is being lost. These are images in a state of transition, in which reminiscences of a digital archive reveal a different form of imagery. Their disturbances generate resistance—against the claim to completeness and against the smoothness of perfected image worlds. A digital palimpsest in which memory is not preserved or discarded, but transformed.
Mozzarellalight: TO FADE IN
Water, a floating matter and a moving organism, moves to the center of perception. It is no longer just a simple element, but a living body that changes over time and produces unstable and silent microsystems within itself. Every moment creates a new image, like a photograph that eludes capture. An apparition that cannot be captured, but only briefly reveals itself—only to disappear again immediately. The installation will be visible mainly in the dark hours of the day, as in a photographic process in which the image slowly appears on the film.
Psychocolonial Spaces: Act 1 is a project conceived and implemented by Samia Henni, and commissioned by Ar/Ge Kunst, to be held in Bolzano between 24 May and 2 August 2025. The project investigates the relationships between borders, territories and inhabited spaces, and Frantz Fanon’s (1925-1961) analysis of the psychology of colonialism.
The project for Ar/Ge Kunst, Psychocolonial Spaces, is the first of a series of events that may be activated in various cities and places. Act 1 sets out from the analysis of the invisible and invisibilized spaces of segregation and alienation across the territory of Bolzano and its surroundings: colonial traces, monuments and streets, places that even today have an impact on people’s lives. But what comes to mind when we think of ‘psychocolonial’ spaces? How do they affect us and how do we recognize them? How does our body absorb the violence of these spaces and how do our education, origins and attitude change the way we think about these places? What emerges when we deviate from binary systems of thought and organization?
Samia Henni (1980, DZ/CH) is a writer, historian, and an exhibition maker of the built, destroyed and imagined environments and their relationship with the practices of colonization, war and environmental contamination. Her most recent research has culminated in the exhibitions Performing Colonial Toxicity (2023–; Amsterdam, Zurich, London, Providence, Paris, Berlin, Ottawa), Housing Pharmacology (2020–21; Marseille, Paris), Discreet Violence: Architecture and the French War in Algeria (2017–2022; Zurich, Rotterdam, Berlin, Johannesburg, Paris, Prague, Ithaca and Philadelphia), as well as in the books Colonial Toxicity: Rehearsing French Radioactive Architecture and Landscape in the Sahara (EN, 2024, 2025; FR, 2025), and Architecture of Counterrevolution: The French Army in Northern Algeria (EN, 2017, 2022; FR, 2019); and the volumes Deserts Are Not Empty (EN, 2022, 2025; IT, 2024) and War Zones (2018) of which she was the editor.
This project is made possible with the support of the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia.
Simple and linear forms define the artistic work of Andreas Senoner, whose journey as a woodturner began two years ago.
For Senoner, the work begins long before he actually starts turning at the lathe. Always in search of special pieces of wood, the creative craftsman finds his raw material on farms and in the surrounding forests—some finds he even brings back from his travels.
Nature also serves as a source of inspiration for Senoner when it comes to shapes and colors. Some pieces are burned, others treated in different ways, but the artist always manages to preserve the true value of the wood and its natural appearance. The shape, the color, the growth structure: everything is made and kept visible, revealing the story of the tree from which the finished piece has grown.
Andreas Senoner (born 1962 in Selva di Val Gardena) began learning the carpentry trade at the age of 14. In the workshop, he discovered his passion for wood—a passion that has never left him. The shapes and colors of trees, the vitality and power of branches that defy wind and weather, hold a deep fascination for him.
From this fascination grew the desire to learn the art of woodturning. Shortly after retiring, Andreas Senoner acquired a lathe and quickly realized he had found his true calling.
“It’s incredibly exciting to observe how a piece of wood transforms through my work. My many years of experience as a carpenter help me to understand the properties of the wood and what I can create from it,” says the artist.

Experience an exhilarating performance as we dance with lively steps and graceful movements through the pedestrian area of Ortisei. Let yourself be carried away by our energy and passion for traditional dance, and discover the cultural diversity of our community in a truly special way!
The folk dance group “Grupa Balarins de Gherdëina Urtijëi” was founded in 1963 and has been active without interruption since then. The group dances traditional folk dances based on a long tradition thereunder typical dances for thanksgiving, dances having the intent to attract the other gender and also typical “Schuhplattler”. The “Schuhplattler” dances are demonstrated by male dancers only. All dancers are wearing the “Grödner-Tracht” (traditional costume) which is known as one of the most beautiful and most precious of the alpine area. Due to numerous performances in our country as well as abroad and on TV, the group is very well known far beyond South Tyrol.

The exhibition showcases the South Tyrolean section of the UNESCO World Heritage site. The photographs strikingly highlight the beauty of this landscape and its geological significance. The large-format images are freely accessible in the outdoor area of the Visitor Center.
Acquired over the past decade, these videos are being showcased at Museion for the first time, exploring memory through the medium’s experimental techniques, such as loops, overlays, and flickering. As video art remains a vital part of contemporary museums, Museion has actively expanded its collection, embracing this dynamic medium to uncover new meanings through the layering of visual and narrative languages.
Currently, the museum holds 167 video works, including 28 installations and 139 single-channel films, which form a crucial part of its 4,450-piece collection. This focus dates back to a pivotal moment in 2007-2008 when Museion acquired 52 video works through the Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) in New York. Since then, video art has remained a key area of growth, serving as a bridge between historical narratives, experimental storytelling, technological innovation, and an intergenerational artistic language.
At the heart of this exhibition is an exploration of time and the ghostly presence of the past.
The selected videos delve into themes of remembrance and transformation, using archival footage, found materials, and visual distortions to challenge conventional storytelling. Like archaeologists unearthing forgotten histories, the featured artists employ montage, appropriation, and layering to craft narratives that challenge the linearity of time.
These latest additions to the Museion collection not only strengthen its role as a contemporary art institution but also hold particular value for the local region. By continuously expanding its video archive, Museion ensures that South Tyrol remains a hub for contemporary artistic discourse, fostering connections between global narratives and local cultural heritage. The exhibition, therefore, serves as a dynamic platform for engaging with the past while reinterpreting it through modern artistic lens.
Videos on display:
Korakrit Arunanondchai, Untitled (Painting with History in a Room Filled with People with Funny Names 3), 2015 Barbara Gamper, Becoming Otherwise (hot pink triangles and holes, or how to become woman?), 2020 James Richards, Qualities of Life: Living in the Radiant Cold, 2022 Berty Skuber, Epicycles, 2013
The exhibition sheds light on the Peasants' War and its prehistory using archival documents from around 1500, focussing on the social, political and economic aspects of life before and during the peasant uprisings. Through the presentation of archival documents from the Diocesan Archives, works of art and everyday objects, perspectives on the Peasants' War that have been little illuminated to date are shown in order to visualise the multi-layered nature of the historical events and their complex causes.
The exhibition builds a bridge between past and present and encourages reflection on the continuity of social upheaval.
This summer, an eighth sea joins the seven traditional ones: a sea of mountains, bringing EDIT Napoli to South Tyrol. It is fantastic, restless, driven by curiosity and exchange. The objects selected for the pop-up at the Luna Kiosk are colourful and joyful, telling stories of the South and the sun, while also sharing much with this region: the love for detail, the time devoted, traditional craftsmanship, and the passion for beauty and material things. All of this merges with contemporary design, blending old and new, familiar and unexpected. The wave that carries beautiful things to Bolzano for L’OTTAVO MARE is playful and full of momentum, inviting everyone to ride it and feel part of a bigger idea, united by passion. The wind is fair—let’s set sail...
