"[…] an inviolable and almost incomprehensible thing that makes me feel as if time were solid and enclosed, and could be stopped and contemplated…"
Geneva, June 2022

Gaia Aloisi's "Solid, enclosed" focuses on singularity: is it possible to compress time, solidify and crystallize it in order to be able to observe and caress it?
