We find ourselves inside an ancient 19th-century prison, a place steeped in history. Born during the three days of mourning for Giuseppe Garibaldi, a national hero, the prison was decommissioned after two centuries when the last inmates were transferred to a modern facility.
Abandoned for over 30 years, the prison becomes the stage for contemporary artists who, just before its irreversible transformation, decide to bring it back to life in a surprising way. Over six months of 'creative spelunking', painters, photographers, filmmakers, dancers, and musicians collaborate to unearth 'Communicating Artistic Organisms’.
This 'Urbex Squad' immerses itself in decaying cells, inscriptions carved by inmates, and dusty files, aiming to explore through their diverse art forms the powerful link between vulnerability and creative strength that resides within each of us.
The story of 'Vulnerare' reflects on the absurdity of modern times, where beauty and strength can emerge from the most unexpected corners and from the most challenging experiences. The prison becomes a metaphor for society, where its complex history and potential for transformation merge through creativity and the sharing of human vulnerabilities.
