«I collect fragments, glimpses, memories, reflections without a predetermined idea, and gradually these elements find their own connections. My job is simply to follow and filter that process, finding the right balance between what I want to reveal and what I want to keep to myself». Andro Eradze

The catalogue documents the site-specific exhibition Bones of Tomorrow, which the Georgian artist Andro Eradze realized in Florence, engaging the two venues of Palazzo Strozzi and the former Teatro dell’Oriuolo. Both the publication and the exhibition are the result of a collaboration between Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi and the Master’s program in Curatorial Practice at IED Florence.

Eradze’s artistic research moves between opposing forces that coexist, exploring border zones where the natural and the artificial, the domestic and the wild, the human and the animal meet. The enigmatic images of Bones of Tomorrow raise questions about time, the relationship between the human and the non-human, and the continuous metamorphosis of life forms. In this liminal space, oppositions do not cancel each other out but remain open, generating a constant sense of ambiguity, suspension, and waiting. The ongoing passage from one state to another represents one of the central themes of Eradze’s aesthetic, and the plurality of languages alternating throughout the exhibition – installation, video, photography – mirrors its tension and ambiguity in an unceasing flow of forms.

An essay by Daria Filardo and Martino Margheri broadens the perspective on Eradze’s work, further extended by an interview with the artist conducted by Arturo Galansino. Completing the overview, photographs, installation views, and a series of insights examine the different aspects of this artist’s practice, one of the most original emerging voices on the international scene.
