This publication was released on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name at Palazzo Dugnani in Milan. Sheltered beneath Tiepolo’s ceiling frescoes of Palazzo Dugnani, the exhibition Hypervisuality bridges the invisible and the visible with six cinematic works from the Wemhöner Collection.

“Hyper” does not emphasize an overabundance of images, as is often attributed to media society, but rather a movement into the borderline realm of visual representation. Hypervisuality accomplishes this transgression through an exploration of cinematic art of alienation, exemplified by the works New Women by Yang Fudong, Fragile and 2’59” by Masbedo, Playtime by Isaac Julien, as well as The Swap and Deep Gold by Julian Rosefeldt.
