無限終 [HEBDOMANTIS] -- raw x MATTEO MELOTTO

“無限終 [HEBDOMANTIS] -- raw” is an audiovisual work generated entirely through artificial intelligence. Conceived as a digital meditation and an ontological inquiry, the piece takes the form of an unstable archive of surreal pseudo-found footage.

The work unfolds through a fragmented, anti-narrative structure, where visceral landscapes and fungal proliferations intertwine with post-human cocoons and dreamlike visions. Hive-like communities emerge as collective organisms in constant mutation, shaping a cryptic, mythological imaginary that draws on symbolic and esoteric references, continuously deformed and reinterpreted through a post-biological lens.

Sound plays an equally central role in shaping the work’s unstable atmosphere. The audio emerges as a hybrid and fragmentary composition: AI-generated sonic fragments collide with organic textures, hyper-slowed techno-trap structures, and simulated samples of 1920s music, all interwoven with field recordings of the artist’s childhood toys. This layering produces an acoustic environment that oscillates between the intimate and the alien, the playful and the uncanny.

At its core, the work investigates the body as a site of otherness, desire, trauma, and repression, while also positioning it as a space of resistance and possibility.

“無限終 [HEBDOMANTIS] -- raw” articulates a tension toward freedom: an archetypal impulse that dissolves established meanings and locates in chaos the conditions for an active re-signification of reality.

PROTODOM: L’ORIGINE DEL TRAUMA x MATTEO MELOTTO

Opening the exhibition is PROTODOM, a digital performance that introduces the traumatic core from which the entire project unfolds.
The work stems from a biographical event: while carrying his backpack from a grassroots community school to the headquarters of a renowned fashion brand in Milan, the artist notices it has been invaded by ants. His first instinct is to get rid of them, to erase every trace — only to later realize that they represent an unbreakable bond with his origins.
PROTODOM subverts this impulse of self-censorship: rather than hiding the past, it displays it on the artist’s digital body, transforming shame into acceptance, and trauma into a possibility for transformation.

Next to the projection are six sculptures made of salt dough, a humble, childlike material commonly used in elementary schools.
Created cyclically over the course of a year within the school, these ephemeral, unusable urns were shaped by the humidity of the house, allowing the natural decay of the objects to emerge.
They absorb and retain the energy of the space and the time the artist spent within it, only to release it digitally, as thousands of black ants.

Performance, sound, art, and design into living experiences.

ANABASIS

ANABASIS is Matteo Melotto’s third solo exhibition, presented by RÖ and documented on video by Kage Prod.

The project unfolds through installations and performances exploring identity, trauma, and the relationship between spirituality and technology.

At the center is the half-moon symbol—drawn from the artist’s personal history in a low-income housing complex—which recurs throughout the works as a visual mantra.

The exhibition opens with PROTODOM, a digital performance based on a biographical moment, transforming shame into self-acceptance through a poetic confrontation with the past. Fragile salt sculptures made over a year reflect decay, memory, and time.

The heart of the show is ANABASIS, a two-hour ritual performance where the artist wears a monumental crescent-shaped robe matching the dimensions of his childhood home-school, creating a powerful link between body, space, and personal history.

ANEURA, a meditative video work, follows the artist’s journey back to his childhood home through real and 3D-scanned landscapes, symbolizing a descent into the self and reconciliation with origins.

The exhibition concludes with IAH, a sound installation combining ambient recordings from the artist’s former school with internal body sounds captured through chakra-based microphones—resulting in a sonic ascent where trauma dissolves into transcendence.

AMENTA ROUGE

Scarlett Rouge's performance, exploring the soul's journey through purgatory, was specially crafted for the opening ceremony of her latest exhibition. This evocative blend of dance, ritualistic elements, and symbolic gestures serves as both an artistic statement and a profound introduction to her body of work, setting the tone for the themes explored in her exhibition.

Concept and Themes

The performance is rooted in the allegorical tradition of purgatory as a space of transformation and purification. Here, the soul is neither condemned nor fully liberated but undergoes a process of cleansing and self-discovery. Rouge's artistic interpretation captures this liminality, emphasizing the struggle and beauty inherent in spiritual metamorphosis.
