With this second volume, the H83 Documenta series continues its path of research, addressing a theme at once intimate and universal: psychological fragility. Published on the occasion of Matteo Sanna’s exhibition Oltre, held from April 12 to September 13, 2025, at the Habitat Ottantatré Art Center in Verona, in collaboration with NM Contemporary Gallery in Munich and curated by Annalisa Ferraro, the volume goes beyond documenting the exhibition setup, positioning itself as an autonomous space for reflection and experimentation.
Dedicated to fragility understood as an opportunity and fertile threshold from which new futures can sprout, the exhibition unfolds a journey of acceptance, awareness, and regained self-mastery. Each work stages an inner passage—the pause in discomfort, darkness, or disorientation—before allowing processes of resolution and rebirth to emerge. From the breaths imprinted on canvas in the 18720 – Out of Here series, to the recomposed fractures of Fragili Fraintendimenti, to the intimate, ritual gesture of Ladro di fiori, and the unprecedented luminosity of Glimmer, Sanna’s works transform vulnerability into poetic resilience, turning fragility into a possibility for shared transformation.
