Metronom is happy to present Minimi naturali, exhibition with works by artists Andrea Pertoldeo and Marit Wolters on Wednesday, October 27th, 2021 at 5.00 pm.
Minimi naturali or "Minima naturalia", with reference to Aristotle's philosophy, are 'the smallest parts into which a substance can be divided without losing its essential character'. Aristotle rejects the concept of emptiness in favor of a space-time continuity that makes every object that occupies a certain volume in space in theory infinitely divisible. These natural minima are what 'remains' of this division process which however maintains the essential characteristics of a substance. Pertoldeo and Wolters carry out, using different media, photography and sculpture, a search for reduction to the essence and space-temporal continuity.
